<p>Hey mollie, just curious…
Why is there a quota for intl students? Is this a recent thing? When I was at MIT in the early 80s, it seemed like there were many intl students. Several of my friends were international, and their governments were footing the bills.
I would think, given the economic situation, that the Institute might be inclined to accept more full-pay foreign students who aren’t eligible for financial aid (but I guess I’d be wrong!)</p>
