<p>Local</a> News | Foreign enrollment skyrockets for UW | Seattle Times Newspaper</p>
<p>Happens all along the West Coast… Out of State? Out of Nation pays even more, thanks to the EU, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.</p>
<p>Lots of really po’d people in the comments section.</p>
<p>It’s all about the money.</p>
<p>Actually, an advisor came and spoke to my school today, and I specifically asked him about this. He promptly answered by asking us to look at statistics. Yes, 20% of the freshman class is foreign. Yes they enrolled 41% of international students offered admission. </p>
<p>However, it works both ways. 41% of students CHOSE to accept UW as their school. In the past, that number was about 20%. Which makes sense, as in the past, about 10% of UW’s freshman class has been international. He showed me the numbers on packets and, yes they worked out. </p>
<p>It’s not that they’re biased toward international students as much. It’s that those international students accepted chose UW.</p>
<p>I just think they favor International students just a tad more than In state. That’s what is irritating people.</p>
<p>No, they favor a balanced budget which means more tuition revenue=more out of state/international students. That simple.</p>
