Just to help someone out there, as an international student I got accepted into UW-Madison, Uni Pittsburgh, OSU. Still expecting decisions from a couple of very top schools. I had my master's degree in an HBCU college and have at least 3 years research experiences. But in all, God is involved. I hope you will hear good news soon. Good luck!
Thanks for the info. I submitted my application since October, although I am an international student already in US rounding up my masters program. I am expectant.
