Hi,

I was born United States (Texas), but moved to Canada. Will i still be considered an International student if i apply to a DO school?
 
Are you currently living in/applying from Canada? I'm not sure exactly how that works for international apps, but usually that's what determines if you are considered in/out of state.
 
it shouldn't be...legally, you're a US citizen. I guess you could say, at the least, that you don't have a state-specific residency. Do you have a SSN?

As always, when in doubt, contact the school for thier view.
