[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will always be compared against your peers in your school, so yes, you’re considered International. Confused how anyone could think otherwise. Do you think they’d be comparing you to a randomly selected HS from  a state you lived in? States vary on tuition and rules regarding that, but for admissions you’re International. Internally they may view it differently, but that is pool you’re in competing with peers from your HS. [/quote]

I'm an American who has lived overseas, and met another American  who worked at an embassy who was convinced that their children were in some separate pool of applicants of embassy children who were comparable and being reviewed by a single admissions officer at a university, because it was unfathomable that they were compared to other students from their international school overseas (i.e. the foreigner applicants to US universities from the same HS).  I really don't think that's the case, because, what university has the budget for that, let alone all the universities in America, but people will believe what they want to believe.

Maybe it's true for those special DOD high schools, but there aren't that many of those either.[/quote]
