I think its one of those things you should consider yourself. Do you really think that you've had events or situations in your life have made you disadvantaged academically? If your parents didnt help pay for college you could say that you are disadvantaged because most people do get some help from parents.

Were you ill-prepared for college because you attended an "under-performing" high school? Were you ill-prepared for high school because you did not go to a good grade school? Did you go to bed hungry? Live in unsafe housing? Have far less than most people in your area when you were age 0-18?
If you can answer "yes" to those questions (or at least a few of them), then you might consider applying as disadvantaged as an immigrant.
