Ivy schools are world renowned, they are known for being picky about who they take, and foreign students normally pay full freight.

Combine that with the outsized influence of some countries / donors and you can explain how Obama transferred in there from Occidental then how he rose through Harvard Law to head of Law Review while never writing an article.

This. It's all about money. They take wealthy kids of oil sheiks or Chinese businessmen who will pay massive tuition fees. They don't give a frick about American students.

I'm fine with some foreign students, but it should not surpass 10% in my opinion. 50% is a slap in the face to Americans.

Here is the reason. This is happening at a lot of high priced schools.

I wonder if there is a tax code that allows the institution to write off some debts for having a student body that consist of X% of foreigners. otherwise, why else would they want so many foreigners?
