I guess I distill this OP’s rather convoluted initial post to:
All American universities should have a responsibility to educate American students first. So if there is a spot that could be filled by an American student of entirely equal academic ability, financial ability to pay etc. then that seat should go to the American student first? (Given the incredible number of applicant for a limited number of spots that we have seen this cycle, it shouldn’t be so hard to find an American over an International?)
Do I have that right?
