[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will never be any demographic cliff as there are tens and tens of thousands of internationals who are applying.  Check out College Confidential or Reddit.  All the "applying to college" threads are all internationals.  And they have the same test scores/grades and better extracurriculars than almost any Americans---doing original research by 9th grade, multiple internships, etc.  If that is your thing (and it seems to be the "thing" of universities) then the percentage of internationals will continue to increase each year and more than compensate for any decrease in the US birth rate.

Take it with a grain of salt.

I’ve worked with a college admissions advisor who gets international students into US top schools and he does it by cheating- someone else does their science and research projects, someone else writes articles and essays.

I guess it’s hard to verify when they’re overseas.[/quote]

At our schools, teachers make up awards every year to give to their favorite kids. Also say that this kid did and that when they did not. It worked one year to get a kid (maybe 2) into MIT. Never after that! Why? Narcissistic folks who want to brag about how THEY got this kid into a college. Adults can be so insecure! [/quote]
