Small country helps chances Answered
I am a US citizen living in a very small country in Europe where only a handful of students apply to USA each year. Does this give me a small boost in chances, all other things being equal, in top universities?

So for all intents and purposes you are a US domestic student the only 鈥渂oost鈥� you鈥檇 get is being able to talk about your expirences and if your essay isn鈥檛 great that is heavily mitigated. Schools want international students to brag about, a US citizen is not 鈥渂rag worthy.鈥� So there is no impact besides being a US applicant instead of international. The boosts are sometimes positive and sometimes negative.
Hope this helps and comment if you need clarification.
