<p>Any my other question with international applicants is: how sure are we really about their grades & test scores? Though I’m sure most are highly qualified. I can’t help remembering that thread from the $60K per year paper writer- all the way from college admission to masters thesis’, many of his customers are international students. We see many areas of lax standards in quality controls in many areas particularly in some of the products we import. And to the few schools that provide financial aid to international students, how do they verify? They aren’t sending in their 1040s and w-2s.
The Private’s can do what they want I suppose, I’m sure they could fill their class with qualified internationals. It wouldn’t make for the balanced & holistic reviewed class they talk about.</p>
