[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true.  They would rather take foreigners at 3x the price than your kid.  He should apply anyway.  The rejections will help him to build resilience for the job market which is this but worse.[/quote]

Please ignore this xenophobic piece of disinformation. I'm a foreigner, I know other foreigners, and it's just as hard if not harder for our kids to get in. Thank you.

Also, it's not like there is a separate price for foreigners that is 3x what Americans pay.  [/quote]

NP. Give it some thought. Really think about it. The poster is referring to international students. They do pay significantly more, as they should. [/quote]

Not at private schools.  And at state schools, they pay OOS tuition just like anyone from "out of state".

Some schools have international rates or an international surcharge. Purdue is one example. [/quote]

Purdue is an anomaly. It's a land grant public institution which has geared itself to take in a huge international class to fund itself . A whopping 18.6% of each class is international. Also, any "surcharge" is dependent upon the program. If you enter Purdue Global, for example, the international
student receives a 25% reduction in tuition! And yes there is a tiny $15 addition to the $60  application fee for international students. Again, this is a money-maker for Purdue. Because of its marketing of international students, Purdue is now top ten in America for international students, but one could question why a state university should be so heavily entrenched with international students.[/quote]
