The Wall Street Journal takes note of the trend data from India reported in CGS's 2014 International Graduate Admissions Survey, Phase 1: Applications.

Applications to U.S. graduate schools from India jumped 32% in 2014, according to the CGS International Graduate Admissions Survey, Phase 1: Applications. However, there is cause for concern in overall trends because prospective students from India have not exhibited large and sustained year-to-year increases, CGS President Debra W. Stewart tells the Professionals in International Education (PIE) News.

Trends in applications to U.S. graduate schools from international students appear to have hit a reset, according to the latest CGS International Admissions Survey report. CGS President Debra W. Stewart discusses with The Chronicle what the shifts among sending countries may mean for U.S. institutions.

CGS President Debra W. Stewart discusses the trends revealed by the 2014 CGS International Graduate Admissions Survey, Phase I: Applications. While the outlook for U.S. graduate schools appears strong when the numbers from India and China are taken together, the competition for the world's top graduate talent is increasing. For the U.S. to remain the top destination for graduate study, Stewart contends, we must make it easier for international students to obtain visas.
