Rejected by their own universities, Indian students flock to the US...

When Moulshri Mohan applied to colleges, she received scholarship offers of $20,000 from Dartmouth and $15,000 from Smith. Her pile of acceptance letters would have made any teenager smile: Cornell, Bryn Mawr, Duke, Wesleyan, Barnard and the University of Virginia.

But because of her 93.5% cumulative score on her final board exams, Moulshri was rejected by top colleges at Delhi University.

"Daughter now enrolled at Dartmouth!" her mother, Madhavi Chandra, wrote, updating her Facebook page. "Strange swings this admission season has shown us. Can't get into DU, can make it to the Ivies."

 Moulshri, 18, is now one of a surging number of Indian students attending American colleges and universities, as competition in India has grown formidable, even for the best students. This summer, Delhi University issued cutoff scores that reached a near-impossible 100% in some cases. The Indian Institutes of Technology have an acceptance rate of less than 2% - and that is only from a pool of roughly 500,000 who qualify to take the entrance exam. Full story...
