So indeed, it does look better for domestic applicants who should check out the CDS for the Unis interested in.

But some of most selective schools take way more international students. For example, schools with percent enrolled internationals: NYU- 26%, Carnegie Mellon-24, Rochester-24, BU-23, Columbia-18, Emory -17, Chicago-16, Hopkins 15, Georgetown 14, NE 14, UCSD 14, Harvard 13, Dartmouth 13, Rice 13, UPenn 13, USC 13, Cal 13, Princeton 12, Brown 12, MIT 11

The key is whether the % of international applicants to total applicants is greater than the % of international enrollments to total enrolls. If so, then the admit rates for domestic applicants will be higher than the averages otherwise would suggest.
Unfortunately the NYU CDS does not publish number of international applicants to be able to judge that.

Actually, that information is only important if you're interested in whether international applicants admissions rates plus yield rates differ than domestic applicants. If you're interested just in whether there's a disparity in admissions rates, this information is great.
