No, the ratio of tuition rates for international to domestic students is not a good indicator of the relative difficulty for an international student to get admitted to a particular school compared to a domestic one. The cost of tuition is determined by a variety of factors such as the type of institution, location, academic reputation, and other financial aid options available. The admissions process itself is based on more complex factors such as academic performance, extracurriculars, essays, and letters of recommendation.
