I guess that's true,Happyentropy.But aren't there also a larger number of fellowships for domestic applicants?I saw a large list of possible fellowships for US citizens/permanent residents in all the applicantion forms.I don't know how many people are selected for those,but it seems that funding oppotunities are also limited for international applicants.This,combined with the reason you gave(it's natural to be skeptical about an applicant from an unknown university) are perhaps the main reasons why the admission process is much more selective for international applicants.Also,most countries don't have that many research opportunities for undergrads like the US.
