<p>What is the relevance here, Byerly? Princeton has good students. Harvard has good students. This is the Princeton board. Hence, it is appropriate to post links about the accomplishments of Princeton students. Post your links about great Harvard students on the Harvard board.</p>

<p>Hmm… I thought it was a post about INDIAN AMERICAN students. </p>

<p>In the first article, Princeton is mentioned incidentally, along with Cornell. </p>

<p>It is a story about a number of Indian American students. </p>

<p>The secod article is from the same paper, and references a kid prominently mentioned in the first story without saying where he was headed collegially.</p>

<p>byerly. you truthfully (and shamelessly) defy all laws of persistance.</p>

<p>The emerging story is that the disproportionate share of top academic high schoolers who were Chinese Americans or Korean Americans are now yielding places to a larger and larger number of Indian Americans.</p>

<p>Interesting – India West talked about the 05 presidential scholars back in 2005…perhaps it’s a regular feature with them?</p>

<p>Bylerly thinks he is in the same ranks as Bill Gates, since they both went to Harvard</p>
