Newton123,
You should get your 1-20 before your 60 days grace period is over. So if your OPT expires in March 09 then you should have the document by May 09 to remain in legal student status with your current F-1 visa. If the school gets all of your paperwork on time then they should be able to issue an I-20 to start college in summer or even Fall (you should talk to the intl advisors about the specifics). If you don't get admitted before the grace period then you have to go back to Nepal and go through the whole process of applying for the student visa all over again. Hope that helps.
