Dual citizenship

Question

Hi guys!
 I'm a little confused. The thing is, I have dual citizenship. 1-Country where I went to school and university. 2-My ethnic homeland. When applying to b-schools, which recruiting group will I fall into? Can I list my ethnic home passport as my main passport and not the passport of the country where I graduated from university?

The application forms will give you the opportunity to list both citizenships and that is what you should do. Not sure exactly what you mean by "recruiting groups"?

Arluiza :

This is the correct advice.

We also don't think you should be worrying too much about how you will be classified in the admissions process. It's not something you can control and your classification can vary from school to school. The most important thing to do is put down this information accurately and then you can focus on what makes you unique from both a personal and professional standpoint. That's where the strength of your profile will rest.

Good luck,
Admissionado

Hi, Arluiza hope this finds you well. Yours is an interesting situation to be in.

You should ideally apply with the nationality that finds lesser representation at your target school, which helps if you consider a highly selective group of schools. Irrespective of which passport you apply with, you should speak about your dual nationality and background, which will add to the diversity factor of your candidacy. "Recruiting" will consider both your passports as you will apply to respective companies filling in all the details as a job seeker. When applying to the target B School, you don't have to worry about it. Best wishes
