Any Internationals asking for FinAid who got in?

<p>Yes, we do pay taxes, some of which the government allocates to various organizations such as NSF. These organizations in turn provide fundings to the US universities. </p>

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.

I don’t see how you got to that conclusion. If you donate money, then your children will have a better chance of getting in. Why should that affect your countryman?</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.

wow…so that must suck for the 6.4 billion people who don’t live in the US. Maybe the Supreme Court should implement some affirmative action for them? Oh right, a civil rights law would be good too. The USA cannot discriminate!</p>

<p>I’m sorry that some of you guys didn’t get into the US universities that you guys applied to. There are spots, it’s just that the competition is too tough. Simple supply and demand.</p>
