<p>Hi......I was wondering if all grad schools have a fixed percentage of intl students that they admit each year??? What i mean to ask is that does an intl student has a greater chance of being accepted at a school where less no of intl apply as it will make him/her stand out from the rest of the applicants and also that increases the student diversity at that university...</p>
<p>How important is this factor while selecting a university to apply to??</p>
<p>From the "UNDERGRADUATE IN CANADA..." thread</p>
<p>ysk1 and SlantNGo, </p>
<p>The admissions committees with which I am most familiar (most of these are in humanities programs in both private and public universities) most emphatically do NOT hold international applicants to a higher standard than US applicants. </p>
<p>While there are some departments (particularly in the hard sciences) that (because of government grants) must FUND (as opposed to ADMIT) US applicants before others, there are MANY others that have no such strictures.</p>
