[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think international apps are skyrocketing.   there was a lull during Covid but they're now soaring.  
Texas is an extremely popular international application per Reddit.

I’m usually progressive, but we need a massive restriction on applications from east Asia.[/quote]

The universities will accept who they want. Why are you scared of your kids competing against others from around the world?[/quote]

Different poster.  Because there is a ceiling on how great kids can be and there are far more kids who meet it than there are spots at universities. The international kids aren't bringing academic/extracurricular qualifications to the table that can't be matched by a very long line of exceptional American kids.

And, and this is a big, And..the amount of outright cheating and lying from East Asian applicants is horrific.  L[b]ook at pictures of Chinese and Indian kids sitting for tests, where parents are literally on ladders outside the windows handing them answers.[/b]  Also, there is a huge network of groups that steal the entrance exams for top universities and then sell the questions and answers online.

Guess what...they do that with the SAT as well and there is a massive network of consultants that are absolutely upfront that they will create an application for kids.  Forge a transcript, create the ECs, write the essays...soup-to-nuts.[/quote]

what are you talking about? (in bold)?

btw, on reddit, the international applicants talk a LOT about faking ECs, forcing transcripts, and fake LOR. And there are college consultants who help. it's a crazy cottage industry I had no idea about. 
I've spent more time there this cycle (as this board has been kind of dead and taken over by trolls compared to by last go around in the college process) and it's been eye-opening.[/quote]
