Is it true that it is easier for international students to get admitted at a top MBA program since they would be paying full fees? Anyone??

^ I don't think so. If you'd do background checking on those int'l students who got into top b-schools (HBS, SBS, Wharton, Haas, Columbia, Kellogg and the like), all of them have very impressive academic records as well as excellent relevant work experience.

Im not saying a mentally deficient international applicant vs local genius..

im saying all things equal they are equally qualified.. i heard that due to full tuition payments which kinda makes sense they are usually admitted

RML

^ I still don't think so. If both students met the entry standard, both will likely be offered a place. I also don't think that the yield rate for Int'l Students is 100%.

In business schools, everyone pays sticker price unless they get a merit scholarship which are offered to all students regardless of nationality. As a matter of fact, the international students have a harder time paying the full price due to lower incomes in their home countries and it's increasingly harder for them to qualify for loans here.
