[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh this sucks- i want my kid to attend one of the American schools in the ME and it looks like chances of getting in will get slimmer- already a single digit admit rate. But we are American citizens living abroad- maybe it’ll help her get merit aid in the states since we are an expat family?? Sigh, we really need to find an alternate citizenship- my parents should’ve stayed in the UK instead of moving to the US, what with the tax penalty for expats and the ginormous tax rate that gets us nothing, expensive healthcare, retirement and college, its very costly and i dont have any confidence that the state department will actually be of any use to US citizens of color who get into trouble abroad.  A robust state department was a real plus back when but now that’s gone as well. It’s infuriating how expensive American taxes are compared to how the government provides no benefits compared to the rest of the developed world.  (my family immigrated from our home country b.c my father would’ve been killed for his religion and many Asian/ African  origin American citizens are in a similar situation) [/quote]

Even if you had British citizenship, you would still be paying international tuition rates. But maybe an easier admit since British universities need international fees. [/quote]
