<p>I know that at my "need-blind" (doesn't exist) alma mater that puts "socio-ec" tags on applications in an absolutely totally need-blind manner (;)), roughly 7% of internationals are admitted. Take them out of the equation, and all of a sudden "selectivity" goes down. I have heard (but can't confirm) that at ah-hem "need-blind" HYP, it is roughly 3%, and they have huge numbers of international applicants. Take them out of the hopper, and all of a sudden selectivity goes down.</p>
