@marvin100 Maybe you should read this thread http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1831287-wsj-a-million-international-stdents-pinch-us-admissions.html
Actually, the numbers of internationals are going up, especially at public universities (Where the residents of the state should be given priority, much less country). Considering they are full-pay, universities clearly are using them to make ends meet.
This is very sad, I can’t imagine how it would feel to be a resident who paid for the school with their taxes and not even be able to attend. Especially when you are academically qualified, but some cheating asian who has rich parents steals your spot.
Go look at UC Berkeley and UCLA, heck, even look at UT-Austin. But the full-pay allure is obviously affecting privates as well.
