Determining tax status

[Anonymoy]

I was wondering if y'all could help me determine my tax status- so my question is does your years as F-1 student count towards the days of the substantial presence test for determining tax status?
Do you automatically qualify as a resident for tax purposes if you have been on F-1 status for more than 5 years?
Or all F-1 students regardless of years they have been on F-1 visa always file as non-resident aliens?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
