[quote=Anonymous]There are some smaller colleges (ahem Colby) that use international students to inflate their stats to make the school seem more competitive. First they make the application free, and don't require any supplementals, so applying is simply clicking a checkbox on Common App. Then they promise to meet 100% need for international students. Finally they market heavily in Asia. That pumps tens of thousands of applications into the system, but they still only accept the same small set of 100-200 international students each year. Admissions rate goes from 30% to 7% on the backs of international students who are just grabbing a raffle ticket. USNews and parents are now so impressed how competitive the school has become. There is a reason why Colby doesn't generate a CDS. Other SLACs play this game as well.[/quote]
