If I had to guess, I would assume the international students attending either A. had parents with deep pockets (ie rich) B. Are so insanely smart got some crazy scholarship (example someone that won some international award in science or humanitarism) C. Going into some type of crazy private loan debt that has interest rates along the lines of a loan shark.

Just possibilities off the top of my head. My suggestion find a school that gives amazing international aid that does not have a high sticker price. NYU sticker price is super high, and their aid isn’t good either. Plus my sister has a psychology degree, and a master in school administration. She couldn’t find a job in here field and is now working for the state of CA for the court system doing adminstrative work not even related to her education. I would assume there are a lot of psychology majors out there and a graduate or phd might be prereq to getting into the field. Unless you going to start at the bottom and work your way up such as being a social worker, guidance counseler etc. But lots of those require advance degrees as well.
