      28% of Harvard students are international, 24% of Stanford students come from overseas.

      The article below describes the absolute travesty and “long-term damage” that would occur if filthy mudblood American citizens were granted entry into those institutions instead of foreigners.

      Stanford faculty react to Harvard international student ban, foresee long-term damage

      It extends to the lowly Catholic institutions. My neighbor’s family are long-term students at Bellarmine stretching over four generations. One will graduate shortly as the salutatorian…second in the class. He was turned down by both UCLA and UC Santa Barbara and will attend Cal-Poly SLO. My youngest graduated seven years ago, just outside the top 10, was granted admission to UCLA and was given a scholarship at UCSB.

      Every so often, Bellarmine encounters a shock to their college admissions system. The year my oldest was a junior (2009), 86 Bellarmine grads (of about 400 4 year college attendees) matriculated at their “safety” schools.

      The UC system isn’t the problem. They have capped out of state and international students at 18% for five of the campuses and at the 2016/2017 enrollment levels at the other five campuses.

      The result is that the University of California system enrolled 2,500 more California residents this year than last, the biggest increase since the UC admitted 7,400 more Californians in 2016 than they did in 2015. Non-California resident undergrads make up 16.5% of the system.

      So…the problem is Bellarmine. And I noted that 70 students (of the 1,500) will not be returning to Bellarmine next year.

      Could this be part of the problem?

      It’s hard to see the difference between this policy and what you’d get if a bunch of 10yos locked the teachers in a closet and rewrote the rules.”

      I’ve got 8 yo granddaughters, and they object to you baseless and unfounded characterization.  They would laugh at this, stating it looks more like summer vacation than school.  Of course, mom is a public school principal.
