Hi! Sorry in advance for the very specific question. I am a U.S. citizen and am currently in the process of applying for Colombian citizenship (both of my parents are from Colombia). If granted citizenship, I will have it before I apply to law schools this Fall. This might be a silly question, but I am just curious, does having dual citizenship hurt against you for law school admissions? Are there any negatives (or maybe even positives?) of being a dual citizen? I am living in the U.S. and will be throughout the admissions process.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the responses! Very helpful information.
1 I don’t think USA recognizes a dual citizenship with Colombia. You would have a US citizenship, and a Colombian citizenship. There’s a diff between having a dual citizenship and having 2 passports.
2 no effect whatsoever. I don’t recall any place on the applications that required me to mention my other citizenship.
I don't think so. You are a U.S. citizen so you will not require visa sponsorship (I-20) from school, which means you won't count as an international student.
To add to your Q - do you have to disclose dual citizenship?? @xlvovska162
