"Another reason is the perception that the brightest American students go into law, medicine, and business." This is not a perception, it is just a simple statistical consequence of the American freedom and general organization of the society. Brightest young people are simply evenly spread across all these opportunities, including science and engineering. In other countries you mention, there was no law, business was prohibited, and the medicine was free (with low wage level). As a result of natural career planning, most bright people were concentrated in natural sciences and research/engineering (and music/arts maybe). That's why their concentration in those areas is higher and consequently the quality of the top is better. It looks like the current American policy in education is very pragmatical - it is much cheaper to crop the cream from high-populated countries (bigger base of talent) than to cultivate own talent. As long as perception of higher quality of life in America is in place, the situation with education will remain as it is now. All my theory of course... - Ali
