like they waitlist all of them like even in ED which is absurd and reject only domestic students
they use internationals as a buffer for their yield rates
they manipulate their acceptance rate with them. like 50%+ of applicants are international and only like a hundred or two get in. that's lower than 5%, against like 50%+ acceptance rate for domestic students. yeah, that 25% ish acceptance rate they tell u? theyre not telling u the full story domestic folks!
like it's fine if u decide not to admit as many international students. but don't use them to inflate ur college's worth. u only have 2 counselors for internationals against like 13 others for domestic when they are literally more than half of your applicants. like how are 2 supposed to handle that??
like just reject internationals if u dont want them? stop using them to inflate ur acceptance rate and yield rate?
like i see some poor international students from zambia congo really disadvanted backgrounds here in this subreddit ask questions, apparently someone "has been on reed's waitlist since ED". they dont have much ressources to begin with, only their ambitions and dreams, and they go into the admission cycle and this deceptive college with shady practices uses them to look more prestigious than it is and manipulate them. they know what theyre doing. they use deceptive language left and right with all their applicants including domestic!! this has to stop!!!
