I read your comment here. I read your entire post again. I read your comment for a second time. I'm sorry, I still have the same conclusion. If international students competing for places is a factor, it certainly isn't the major one. I would still assert ability to pay is a much bigger factor. But then in my second glance at your post I also notice it is a puff-piece to cross-promote your tutor search business. Well, isn't that self-serving? Whip up some FUD around competition from foreign students to make guilty-ridden parents pick up the phone and open their wallets for private tuition for Junior. Overly highlight a need and then jump right in with the solution, how helpful of you. And of course, you are not going to comment on the fact that the exorbitant fees for Ivy Leagues are keeping smart kids out because your whole business is built around serving the affluent privileged few who can afford to provide tutoring for their children (and thus probably those fees too). Most of America can't. If it wasn't for the fact I don't have kids and I'm an example of why a university education isn't vital, I'd be upset I'd just given your company undue attention from this thread.
