Claire Said:

Are U.S. citizen students living abroad allowed to apply to colleges as international students?

We Answered:

Because you're a US citizen, you'll apply as a domestic student, not an international student. This is actually a good thing, because you'll be eligible to apply for US financial aid via the FAFSA, you'll be eligible for aid that most schools can only give to US citizens. In addition, some schools only allow in a certain number/percentage of international students, so you won't be up against those limits.

Your international background will benefit you in admissions, but you will apply as a domestic student, not an international student.
