Advance apologies for sounding neurotic -- but I am really unsure whether to answer Columbia question 9 or leave it blank if I'm a US citizen.
Basically, it asks "Of what country are you a citizen?"
But question 8 asks, "Are you a US citizen?" And then, "if not, what is your visa type?"
I am confused since logically, question 9 is a new question... and so perhaps it would be best not to leave it blank. Does anyone who has completed the Columbia app have a quick piece of advice?
Cheers guys!

Re: Picky Columbia App Question
write USA
if you think about it, the two questions are not the same.
Hypothetical person A, dual citizenship of USA and UK
8. Are you a US citizen? Person A: Yes.
9. Of what country are you a citizen? Person A: USA, UK.
Hypothetical person B, UK citizen, NOT USA citizen
8. Are you a US citizen? Person A: No.
8.b. If not, what is your visa type? Person A: Type X
9. Of what country are you a citizen? UK
Somebody please write something about America being a colony of the British.
End.
