[quote=Anonymous]I previously read international applications for a school that read by school group when possible, because the local school context matters. Is it an international school or does it follow local curriculum? Do they offer APs? How many? Etc.

If I only had one app from the school, I was still using the school report to understand the options available to the student and how they were availing themselves of them. We did also have a sense of what was typical for a given country, so we would know that students might not have the same access to extracurriculars as American students.

On the other hand, a student like yours with American citizenship wouldn't have to provide evidence of English proficiency, unlike many international students.

Also, I suspect that in final decisions, the student's American identity would come into play, largely in beneficial ways. The university would be able to predict that the student might smoothly enter the American university system, while bringing interesting perspectives from their time abroad. [/quote]
