More international students gaining admission to us graduate schools

Graduate schools in America have been admitting international students at the fastest rate in over five years, up 11% in the last 12 months, according to data from the Council of Graduate Schools.

During the last decade after the 9/11 attacks, foreign student admissions dropped drastically and the recovery from this sharp dip has taken several years.

The increase in admissions for 2011 is the steepest one-year increase since 2006 and is being welcomed by American campuses.

The information shows that students from China increasingly want to study in the United States and are being granted visas to do so. Admissions are up 23% for Chinese students.
