Darknight, It's all a matter of choice and opportunity.  I've seen kids from the so called "top" schools mentioned above attend lowly whack-azz community colleges here whereas, there are a few who're straight outta those rural SLC schools and end up getting into the ivies here.  Dude, there's nothing to brag about the "top" Nepali schools as IMO, all schools in Nepal were never upto par with the schools in India (in terms of spoken english/grammar, extracurricular and recreational activities, etc.  Proof in point: King Birendra and Gyane too were sent to Darjeeling).  Hell, most schools in KTM still don't have enough room for a decent basket-ball court, let alone a soccer field!!

And B-students as SLC 2nd divisioners??  LOLs.  You high, dude?  Where did that profound pseudo-intellectual wisdom of yours come outta??  I've seen idiots end up becoming doctors, lawyers and engineers under the Nepali educational system where anyone with any sort of connections can pass ANY exams.  Even know of a few peeps here who cheated on the SATs (and they mention that it's rampant in Nepali SAT test centers)!!  Never heard of such a phenomenon anywhere else.  Seriously folks, there ain't nothing to brag about the Nepali educational system at all.
