Hey folks,
I'm an international student looking to apply to American PhD programmes in philosophy. A friend who has already been through the application process has advised me: 'There are a whole bunch of good University of California campuses in great locations (UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Riverside UC Irvine) I got really excited about applying to them, but later found that they accept very few international students because we can never become state residents, and therefore the University loses out on state funding'
That looks like a reason to cross all grad schools in California off my list. Does anyone know more about this issue, or about whether it applies to other states?
Thanks in advance!
