Why do you think you are a resident alien? Just try it out. Who knows? Maybe it will work. Hope this works! Thanks for writing!

What visa are you on? If you are on an F1 then the answer is no, you should be filing as a non-resident so file a 1040NR.

Agreed; your visa status dictates whether you are a resident alien or non-resident alien.
