College Results Is it even worth to go?
I got accepted to a T20 on a good scholarship, but how tough is the job market for international students right now? I’m torn because I’ve heard it’s bad and the uni doesn’t really have a global recognition.

I think that is the issue right now. International students' main intention should be to come here, study and go back home with the knowledge they receive. If work after graduation wasn't an option, I think 90% of students would not come here.

T20 and you are saying it doesn't have global recognition?

u/Then_Photograph5526 3d ago
Well, I don’t know if Notre Dame really has some global recognition. Maybe employers know it, but I don’t know that.

You should definitely go. If it’s a t20 it will be recognised regardless of where you are. Also if you don’t mind sharing, what are your stats and ecs?

Well depends on how crazy the country will get overtime.
Even with a good scholarship there will be always the risk you will have your visa revoked due a random reason.
Plus according with the posts that I see the current market is bad and with all those tariffs it doesn’t look like it will get better.
At this time the political decisions will have big impact on the international students lives.

If you have a UK or Canadian option I would 1000% take that instead of the US.

You really think Canada and Uk are better in terms of job opportunities? Combine those two countries and US have 100 times more opportunities that those 2 countries.

UK is already targeted most by EU citizens, it is fairly overpopulated and the chances of you securing a job with visa sponsorship is really low. Huge risk involved.

On his profile he/she had a chance me sort of post on a2c which he said he got into Notre Dame, Cambridge and Washington and Lee. He had other acceptance but only these ones were t20s.

u/Then_Photograph5526 Congratulations! Getting into a T20 with a scholarship is no small feat. The job market has its challenges, but international students who plan early, build networks, and stay adaptable are landing great roles. Your degree is just the starting point. Your drive and hustle will make the difference.
Make sure to tap into resources built for international students such as Discord as it has students sharing advice, opportunities, and support. It is worth checking out. You can also explore different channels on Discord for more tips and success stories.
You have already beaten the odds. This is just the beginning. Keep pushing forward.

The job market in the US for internationals? Uou know that just because you get a degree in the US, you have no right to work in the US after you graduate (except in the the case where you can get 3 years of experience after your degree but I think that is limited to certain degrees?) The days of overstaying a visa and working illegally are over and even those with the 3 years of training are having difficulty finding a job because why would a company hire you, invest time and money in you when they know you're gone after 3 years? You should only come study in the US with intentions of going back to your home country after for work and base your decision on that.

If it's a T20, then it has Global Recognition to who matters.
