Is it true that top American universities will take a limited no of foreign students even though..?
No mare space up there :P So is it true that top American universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale etc. will only take a limited number of students ( maybe 3-4 per country) even though there are more ,,qualified'' students in that country? For example I live in Poland. If I apply next year, will only 3 or 4 polish students get accepted despite the fact that there might be 20 or 30 very qualified students? Thank you!

All selective universities operate on a quota system, some are more honest about it than others. For example, Stanford openly admits that they discriminate against Chinese applicants because otherwise their intake would be 100% Chinese-ethnic-origin as the Chinese are cleverer than Americans. I recommend you stay away from East Coast universities if you are from Europe and away from the West Coast if you are Asian. That should increase the odds of your acceptance.

There is something that you should know about American universities...I was accepted to a West Coast University(UCSD) and they mainly accepted asians because of their higher qualifications and because of the amount of money that they were to pay to the university $$$. Stay in Europe...university system is fine especially in countries such as Germany, UK, Spain, France, Austria, Switzerland, and others and you can get you degree validated with any European country now...

Yes. Harvard only accepts a hand full of international students total. they are not going to take all international students from only one or two countries.
