<p>Is it true that it is easier for international students to get admitted at a top MBA program since they would be paying full fees? Anyone??</p>
<p>^ I don’t think so. If you’d do background checking on those int’l students who got into top b-schools (HBS, SBS, Wharton, Haas, Columbia, Kellogg and the like), all of them have very impressive academic records as well as excellent relevant work experience.</p>
<p>Im not saying a mentally deficient international applicant vs local genius… </p>
<p>im saying all things equal they are equally qualified… i heard that due to full tuition payments which kinda makes sense they are usually admitted</p>
<p>^ I still don’t think so. If both students met the entry standard, both will likely be offered a place. I also don’t think that the yield rate for Int’l Students is 100%.</p>
<p>In business schools, everyone pays sticker price unless they get a merit scholarship which are offered to all students regardless of nationality. As a matter of fact, the international students have a harder time paying the full price due to lower incomes in their home countries and it’s increasingly harder for them to qualify for loans here.</p>
<p>thanks guys… interesting</p>
