The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) just released survey results that show international graduate student applications increased in the US for the fifth consecutive year. Based on survey responses, totals are up by 7% over last year.
This increase has been fueled by double-digit growth rates in students from China. Recent application declines from India and Korea stabilized this year.
Trends vary significantly by field of study and by type of host university.
For more information see the media release and the full report. the survey was on applications, not admissions. CGS' annual survey on admissions (and final application numbers) will be released in August.
Previous years’ surveys are posted here.
