[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not wanting to piss off anyone here but did you even know that it is MUCH easier for international students to get in several US universities than it is for Americans?

Just search Shorelight, Into, Kaplan, Navitas….
International Kids with MUCH LOWER credentials get into several US schools when AMericans have a much higher hurdle to get in….[/quote]

How do you just search that[/quote]

Example….foreign kids can get it several TOP100 unis in the US with very low credentials vs Americans…

I don't see any evidence of them getting in with substantially lower credentials than US students.[/quote]

Hahahahaha…..This is the reason these entities exist. Top 25 schools dont need to use these services because internationals want to go there. But from t150 down to t30 or so, they need another way to market to international students. And the way they do it is by using 3rd party companies like the ones mentioned here. They all have relationships with large college counselor companies everywhere in the world. These counselors will funnel kids to these companies and get a fee for doing so. And Universities get a bunch of borderline students through what they call äccelerator programs. These have lower standards than if you were a normal International Student applying direct…..Lower TOEFL requirements, no test scores required….etc…And you have to agree upfront that you can pay the tuition. Sometimes that tuition is even more than the published rates because the universities to their CREDIT dont want these kids to fail. So they will actually provide tutors and assistance above and beyond what is normally provided to help these kids manage their first year in a different country without failing…It is fair program…..BUT it does have lower standards…..[/quote]
