if you have big loans officers know youre not coming back you will offcourse not pay 150 to 200k loan via Pakistan/India or other low income country salary you will stay in USA

here in pakistan they seem to be applying this filter somewhat but again might vary embassy to embassy

Ohh you're from Pakistan right? I think both countries (india and pak) will have the same trend.

yeah my friend had MBA acceptance from USC and Universioty of chicago so the programs were top class

so its certain the loan amount may have part to play

Why are they saying not to join? That is not my experience at all— Ross students seem to love the school!

It’s the visa risk and uncertainty about the opt and H1B visas. Companies are also scaling back on hiring internationals.

Yes internationals get private loans at 12 to 14% interest rate for example so that 200k becomes 250k by graduation and you need top class jobs or h-1b to repay

Right but what I’m trying to say is that it is important to be specific in that international students are dissuading admits from Ross.
