Most of our students probably wouldn't be able to compete with the locals for admission to Indian schools. Not the better ones, anyway. Assuming that were widely true, and I suspect that it is, to what cause do you attribute the problem? College admissions standards in the U.S.? Inadequate K-12 preparation in the U.S. public schools? More importantly, how do we fix it? More money does not seem to be helping.
