[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that the top U.S. colleges want students from overseas, so there are fewer spots for Americans. Other nations' universities should be open to us to the same degree as ours are to foreign students. This is not the case for Oxford and Cambridge.[/quote] [b]And it is not true for Harvard or the ivies[/b]Foreign students do not have legacy status[/quote] But the foreign students they admit are overwhelmingly from wealthy and highly connected families that are part of their countries' elites. Some of them are legacies, they pay full price and contribute to the institutions' prestige abroad since the children of the self-perpetuating elites all go there. College is becoming so unaffordable here that state universities are also increasingly recruiting full pay kids abroad--never mind out-of-state students. There was an article recently (I think in the WP?) about exactly this issue.[/quote]
