<p>I disagree. Look, I know US universities are some of the best in the world and I can see why many people, internationals or domestics, want to get in. Private universities tend to favor domestics, ceteris parabus and it’s not any more discriminatory than state-residents at public universities paying less tuition than out-of-state students.</p>
<p>The U.S. is suffering from a lack of techincal-based graduates and if Harvard wants to admit more Americans, more power to them. I don’t believe that just because many of the best schools are in the U.S. obligates us to accept more internationals because their country doesn’t have schools on-par with Ivy League. If they want to get in, they better work hard and prove that they’ll add to the college (the same as any other applicant).</p>
<p>Back on topic, my Austrian friend who applied (for partial finaid) got rejected. Her school record and ecs weren’t anything spectacular though.</p>
