[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At first instinct I wanted to criticize OP, but why shouldn't OP get a leg up on a full-pay international student? I'm starting to get really conservative on my views on this....[/quote]

Foreigner here. But are you xenophobic, is the real question.

My kids are US citizens and we are ready to pay full price. My oldest got merit aid. My second is still in high school, so we'll see.

Please don't dump on international families, thank you. They bring a diverse cultural viewpoint to American universities and a lot of them pay full price whether it's US tuition or international tuition.

NP. Your kids are not international applicants.[/quote]

They are not, but I take offense at PP's remark that international applicants are somehow less desirable than anyone else. That's hate speech. Since my kids are dual citizens and I do not have American citizenship, I feel targeted. [/quote]

I think this was in reference to the thread that schools are accepting full pay international students with lesser credentials. I don't know if that claim was ever followed with stats, so it would be interesting if true. All things being equal, and both students paying full freight, take the American in the US university. It doesn't mean no international students- just the very bright ones. But people are very frustrated right now at the one-way road for international undergrad. Why does the US (and canada and uk) need to provide all the desirable schools? Why can't US students get into their own US schools?

That's what's behind this. Not xenophobia. So stop with the race card nonsense and playing the victim and have a real conversation, please.[/quote]

First, most schools that cost $90K+ are PRIVATE.  So they can choose who to admit accordingly.  [/quote]
