This post is simply outrageous and delusional. RBS is most definitely a great school. And students get accepted into top universities not because they have these so called 'connections', but because they are smart and intelligent. RBS focuses not only on academics like most of the schools in Nepal does, but on various other aspects. Model United Nations is a very good example how RBS differs itself from other schools. RBS is the only school in Nepal that holds MUN every year. Not only that, RBS students attend Indian Model United Nations, Harvard United Nations. By involving students into such activities, RBS makes its students more outgoing and globally informed. This is just one of the many examples how RBS provides better opportunities than any other school in Nepal.
I am an ex-RBS student. I studied in RBS for 6 years. I left RBS in A1 (Grade 11). Currently, I am studying in one of the prestigious United World Colleges in Hong Kong. To be honest, if it weren't for RBS I would never have got this opportunity. This year 3 RBS students got accepted to United World Colleges around the world, one in USA, one in India, while I got accepted in Hong Kong. RBS built a platform for students like us to exploit our full potential, to bring us out of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves.
It is outrageous that people think only people with money can join RBS. This year, the students that got accepted in RBS for A-levels are a very talented group and have the opportunity to study in RBS sole on merit-basis. Almost all the students that got accepted to RBS have distinction on their SLC results. Also, many of them are from families that are not financially stable. RBS provides scholarships to those who need it, and those who earn it. Many of my friends had scholarship.
Another blasphemous thing I noticed in this discussion board is the fact people think RBS has a propaganda that provides false information to universities in USA so that their students get accepted. They get accepted because they deserve it. SAT scores are a prime example. Not only that, if you look at a college essay of a RBS student and a student from any other school, (trust me I have looked over several examples to drop into this conclusion) you can see the difference in class between the two. Another important thing is, people are jealous because RBS teachers know about the CommonApp and the application process in the USA very well compared to the teachers in the other schools. That is not the fault of the school.
I noted how 'rid' said BKNS students are genuinely talented, let me remind you, when you say 'talented' it refers to the overall standard of the student, not just the academics. You may argue that BKMS students have better grades, but grades are not the sole factor that decide your college placement. This is something RBS managed to understand. It is not cheating if other schools failed to get this important detail.
