Some new students whom I had admitted in Jul/Aug 2003 in grade 11 - I am forgetting the names. I got  the photos today from Deepti (in purple dress 4th from right) .

  About the 20 yearold Hilton girl - I forgot to mention that she is on student visa from India and received some student loan from a US bank etc --co-signed by her GreenCard holding young (35 year old aunt) -mother's sister-in Los Angeles-who came to US just 7-8 years ago after marriage. If she gets admission into Law School -again her aunt will co-sign her loan. This practice could be adopted by more from India -esp Assam - to get quality students get quality education in World Class institutions. Hilton also talked her way into the International Court at Hague - Netherlands - to witness Milosevich trials there -about Serbian/Croatian massacres . She just sent an email to the organization - requesting internship -was told she has very less experience -she said -if you don't allow me how will I gain it. She didn't even have to apply for her visa --the UN did that for her. She is at some Michkinton College (?) (private) in Ohio.

    Incase you missed another point in trying to score against the world's most renowned educational institutions is that they alsready get the top scorers in SAT etc -- and there are many who are equally good but do not get admission for lack of space -- so for them there are many alternatives -- like the smaller colleges with specialized courses -or more internships. It is possible that those in smaller colleges do not sit on their laurels or brandnames and are more eager to try out emerging/little known ventures .

   Esp those like a new tenant in my landlord's other home -who is a Welham's Girls School graduate (reputed to be India's best girl's school), a brownskinned Anglo Indian who is studying for her undergradute degree at some remote govt college (on schol) in Montana (?) but has managed to get herslef nominated by Univ of Chicago for a local $26,000 Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship -where she willl represent US (she is an Indian citizen) in another country and study there . Right now she is a Glenn Fellow( some guy who as an astronaut circeld the world for the first time and has an institute in DC and is a senator) for the coming semester where her college will consider her fellowship as equal to one semester's course work 16 credits-- and also interning with some US govt office -Federal Judicial...- eye-to-eye with US Supreme Court Justices. Maybe a Hilton surname helps -she has an Indian accent.  But evenshe aspires to attend the Harvard Law School -she has seen "Legally
 Blonde" movie -  where the heroine goes to this school.

    I think many who do not have enough brains of their own need to hire private consultants -- or maybe all are hiring and so those who don't might lose out.

  So how do the private consultants fit into all this? As many as 1 in 5 applicants to private four-year colleges get some kind of independent coaching, which can range in price from $469 for Kaplan's three-hour consultation by webcam to $36,000 for four years of hand holding offered by superconsultant Michele Hernandez>>>
  Harvard,Yale,MIT  --All Ivy League is in dire straits.
  Smaller will become more and more beautiful.
  The cry-for-help by Assam CIC's  can be turned to Joy-of -emancipated -rebirth  when the staff goes on attack mode to EDUCATE all comers with real education without attending any So-called Temple of Learning. Free Assam will do just that.
