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!

leave it blank, or write USA, no one will get mad at you. i promise

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.
