Hi Herman,
your comment to mine<<Most graduate programs would
collapse without foreign students. All schools with which I am familiar
make a real effort to bring in American students, recognizing that they
will be at least behind the foreign ones. Often they need to spend most
of a year making up deficiencies in basic undergraduate courses; they
have not even been exposed to the material. This is more the rule than
the exception these days. And there are not that many applicants in the
first place.>>
I am getting email confirming your point. Here's one short example from
Ohio State U. concerning why such high % foreign students vs. citizens in
math & science disciplines<<part of that reason is that many of them appear
more
qualified on the entrance applications>>
