shspyc: what is happening is more US colleges are recruiting more in the offshore. This is not to say that the top tier schools (HYPSC etc) will allow more – but the less selective ones will actively market themselves overseas. They won’t necessarily need to be more generous as they see non-US applicants as a larger pool of applicants who won’t need financial aid. This is actually a financially beneficial decision for most schools.

Fifteen international students who pay full fare is better than fifteen US students, half of whom will need financial aid.
