<p>I heard from some people in the US that gaining acceptance into Berkeley, Stanford and similar schools is easier for international students. I have always thought the opposite - that international competition is brutal and actually more difficult than admissions for people applying domestically. What is the general consensus?</p>
<p>it’s more difficult. It’s easier? where did you heard that?
UC schools like berkeley have their own intl pool, so it’s alot harder when you’re competing with other intl’s.</p>
