This data was published in Spring 2018 so it covers the graduating Class of 2017 — however we expect these trends to be even more pronounced in the Class of 2018 data as it becomes available. As you look at this information, please keep in mind that it covers full-time programs at a wide range…

Hi Snarks,
I can confirm that my employer (consulting firm based in the U.S.) is no longer recruiting international students in both undergraduate and graduate institutions. It is and unfortunate reality.
In light of such trends, is it worth mentioning that my green card application is in process in the application (on track to receive by Spring 2019)? Motivation behind that is to give the adcom a piece of mind that I will not have visa complications upon graduation.

Hey OmManiPadmeHBS – thanks for your comment! The policies of this administration are having a real effect on decisions at the individual and at the corporate level. Time will tell whether it ends up being good or bad for America!
In terms of your own applications, yes definitely inform the admissions team in your apps that you will be getting your green card. If you’re already working for a US consulting firm then you’re already at an advantage in some ways because you have that solid work experience and presumably references, but taking the whole work permit thing off the table will make it much easier for the adcoms to feel confident on whatever career plans you present to them.
And congrats too — that’s very exciting! Fingers crossed the whole thing goes through without a hitch.
