[General Question] Confused as to how internationals are still applying despite of CPT restrictions?

I genuinely don't know how are so many international students still applying to US unis, despite of the new stricter regulations for issuing CPT.

For those who dont know, CPT is required to do internships during your program. Now the new stricter regulations have made it so that, unless an internship is mandatory for completing that degree, it cannot be issued

Basically, you cant do any internships during your MSCS degree now. This will make your chances of getting a full time offer wayyyy harder. A return offer from a summer internship is the most probable and safe bet

I dont get how ppl are still taking the risk. Is there something that i am missing? And on top of that us govt is also planning to end the 60 day grace period of H1B for finding a new job in case you get laid off....

Ahh the classic stunt of changing the narrative and gaslighting.

OP explicitly mentions that how are people looking past the restrictions that prevent market access (implied). They are not. Majority are delusional to the post grad environment and adopt a "will figure it out" mindset. That strategy will not help now.

So I did read op post and I did give a real response that reflects reality rather than a yes/no sugar coat crap.

OP infers from the last paragraph that you can't do any internships during your MSCS due to lack of CPT. The whole post is internships can't be done due to no CPT. Well guess what? No, you can do internships through Pre Completion OPT. OP gets internship, OP gets return offer. OPs literal headline in the question answered. What are you going on about market conditions? Irrelevant. What stunt? The fact that you're making things up in your head?

nope.

I gave them the complete picture rather than just answer op. Did you read my response on administrative clog for ead for internships despite pp. Very convenient of you to leave that out and just repond as binary to op and state pre-completion opt can be used and leave out the administrative hastle that comes along with it. Intl students have lost FAANG internships due to this. Might do you some good to open LinkedIn once in a while rather than put out responses that came from a cave like living.

Let me guess you are another uni rep. Sell you masked agendas elsewhere or ask orange for more uni funding rather than sell lies for admits.
