>> Schools are incentivized by the ridiculous out of state/country fees they get when they accept international students for their Masters programs, regardless of a students actual abilities or whether the three year Indian/China/U.K. Bachelors sufficiently prepares them. These people always graduate, because money. I've personally worked in a University Department that was tasked with marketing to international students and can say that this is entirely true. To the point that the school reserved a certain number of spots exclusively for out of state/international under the guise of diversity. In most schools it's not even where you think it is, recruitment and admissions had little to no control over us. We had a direct line to the top and were actually the ESL program, we gave students who graduated (the ESL program) a guaranteed spot in whichever college they wanted within our university, and we would take basically anyone who paid. So if you wanted to short circuit the regular admissions process and are willing to pay you'd apply to our ESL program >> spend 4-6 months there >> pass through because $$$ >> enter your bachelor program of choice at a fairly high state school.
