The tuition fees are too high for International students, that's why the number is dropping. I'm pretty sure it's the same for Medical studentsf

No way. They have more than enough internationals lining up to pay whatever tuition they ask for (myself included). The schools just prefer US citizens, understandably so.

With few exceptions, the tuition for inter students is the same as that for non residents. The decrease in the number of inter applicants/enrollees is not likely to adversely affect US dental schools. The cost of dental education is likely, however, to have deterred a few applicants.-
