A few weeks ago, we hosted a new installment of our GEM Horizons webinar series about international graduate students navigating new uncertainties.

Some important takeaways include:
🌏 Expanded competition | Universities in China and India are investing in scholarships, programs, and international recruitment, while branch campuses and transnational education options allow students to earn global credentials.

‼️ External conditions at large | Visa appointment availability, refusal rates, shifting regulations, currency pressures, and program-specific demand can alter behavior late in the cycle.

🌐 Polished v. Practical | International applicants need clear information about costs, housing, arrival, maintaining legal status, academic advising, career services over curated imagery of campus life.
