Nagarik report,

I would not surprise with the advertisement Nepalese do for their success since we are grown up in a culture where Grades (scores) are posted openly and they become the matter of pride or humiliation (not only among students but also among parents/teachers). The  same is true with Chinese and Indians. If I have a indian class mate, after professos gives back the exam he immidiately ask me " tume Kitna Mila'. If I say I got 50, he immidiately adds that he got 60. Thats the culture we have.

I attended three universities (two for graduate studies and one for further position) in USA, I found that there is much less room for a student to make an atvertisement that he knows more than his class mates. Furthermore, a fourth year student takes  class with a first year student for fulfilling the requirements here. There is not much superiority inferiority feeling in a class of US university. (I was teaching in college in Nepal in some point of my life and there is a huge ego problem in  high scorer and feeling of inferiority in low scorer, that continues in their life of being a superiror or inferior- which is not good for a society).The same thing is being reflected here in Sajha. I agree in most part with you Nagarik.

Although, I did not go to "Ivyleague" I frequently had chance to work with ivy league graduates. One of my professor was Harvard Graduate, my own advisor was from a very high level university in canda, and my present advisor Graduated from Cornell.  My class mates/ colleagues were and are from so called very good universities of china and India. When we are here, every body is in same pace, we keep working in lab collecting data writing report and giving presentation. Nobody is good or nobody is bad.Nobody is superior or inferior. Some time some guys become lucky, gets good data and happen to publish in good journal.

Guys, we should keep going.
