<p>stupidkid: You’re saying that US citizens need to have a better chance because US citizens pay money to the colleges (which might not be as correct as you claim it to be for private institutions). Therefore, according to your own logic, applicants from countries from which alumni donated money to a college need to have a better chance than applicants from countries with no alumni donating money. Convincing? Not really.</p>
<p>Maybe the universities in “your own nation” aren’t as good as universities in the US? Internationals are punished for something they aren’t responsible for - namely for being internationals. In a way, that’s discrimination.</p>
<p>Apart from that, as somebody pointed out in a different thread where you posted a similar comment, internationals are very good for the US economy. (unfortunately something that cannot be said about the US government)</p>
