The number of overseas applications to US graduate schools increased in 2011.

Overseas applications to US graduate institutions increased by 9% in 2010–11, says a report released on 9 April by the US Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) in Washington DC. The 2011 CGS International Graduate Admissions Survey indicated that applications from China were up by 18% and those from the Middle East and Turkey rose by 12%, marking the sixth year in a row with double-digit increases from all three regions. Applications from India and South Korea rose by 7% and 2% respectively, following large declines in 2008–09. All fields of study showed growth in 2010–11, led by 12% increases in overseas applications to physical and Earth sciences and engineering. Life-sciences applications rose by 8%, the field's largest gain since 2007.

美帝缺钱+申请人增加，自然难度今年比往年要大啊。。。。。尤其是Ph. D
