Hello everyone! I'm thinking about applying to a top b-school within the next 3 years and I've been reading a lot about how the demographic you fall under influences your chances. And I'm slightly confused about which demographic admissions will consider me as?
I am ethnically Indian and a citizen of India. But I have never lived there since my family moved to the middle east before I was born (where becoming a citizen was not an option). Post-high school, I moved to the UK where I have lived and worked ever since.
From the perspective of an admissions officer, do you think my "competition" will be Indian students? Or middle eastern students? Or British students? I'm pretty confused so help please!

hello,
your competition are just students like from all over the world.
if you are appyling to US,canada,france, uk etc... all what will matter is your gmat and ielts score, work experience, the essay you write and all the qualifications stuff. being indian or british or what so ever does not affect your application unless you are applying to a third world country.
so in brief you are selected based on your qualifications not based on our nationality or ethnic group.

GeorgeKo111 I am so sorry but this is completely and totally incorrect. It would be nice if it were true, the process of getting into B school is very different for overrepresented applicants; the standards are much higher for Indians and Asians.
To answer the original question, they go by the citizenship you declare. But this doesn't mean that your expat experiences won't differentiate you, so advance with confidence.
