For the second year in a row, graduate schools have increased the number of admissions offers they make to international graduate students by 9 percent, according to data released today by the Council of Graduate Schools. The admissions offers follow a year in which total graduate applications from outside the United States increased by 9 percent. Applicants form China continue to be central to the increases. American graduate programs saw an increase of 20 percent in admissions offers to these applicants, following gains in the previous three years of 21, 15 and 17 percent. At the same time, however, offers of admission were flat this year to those from the other two countries that with China send the most students to the United States: India and South Korea. The results are based on surveys of graduate schools.
