180k loans worth increased admission chance as an international?

<p>Well, being a full pay student helps sometimes, but not necessarily for these schools. These are elite universities that attract plenty international students who can afford the full tuition. </p>

<p>I personally believe - and many people here will agree - that it’s INSANE to borrow that much money even if your (apparently very generous) government keeps the interest super low. </p>

<p>And if that $100,000 salary you’re dreaming about is working in the US – are you aware that you won’t necessarily be able to stay in the US after graduation?</p>
