It's also tough if you're an international student seeking financial aid - colleges love full pay international students.
These are just tidbits off the top of my head. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong! I am unaware of preferences in less elite schools as well.
but would this be an international student? i don't think so.

in terms of admission to college, what is preferable - a high school diploma from abroad (rigorous program, top school, in foreign language) or USA?
