Hi,

Let me preface this by saying that I am one 100% newbie to the lovely maze of SEO.

Two Q's:

1) Does .edu generally rank higher than for example .com or .net?

2) Is it possible to get a .edu domain name without being a US school?

1. It is said that .edu are authority sites, Matt Cutts says no difference between .edu or .com.

2. Yes it is, but why would you want one?

.edu domains are restricted for educational establishments

a domain is only as good as its product or marketing effectiveness.
