Chinese Applicants Flood U.S. Graduate Schools

It still appears that the US is the chosen destination for higher education, at least with the Chinese.  Applications are up 18% for master and doctoral programs according to this WSJ report

• That is on top of a 21% jump last year and a 20% rise in 2010—and is the seventh consecutive year of double-digit gains from China, according to the graduate-school industry group. Applications from China now comprise nearly half of all international applications to U.S. graduate programs.
• Specific programs of interest include engineering, business and earth sciences.
