Hope it answers your question.
So you are trying to say that all people that don't make it into IIT go to Cornell?

He was commenting that "most" people that are not accepted into IIT can get into top US Universities, such as Cornell in his example. It is this generalization that I am sure does not hold true. In particular, the use of the word "most".

When China opened up its economy to Foreign trade in the 90s, Japan was the first to seize the oppurtunity. Japan ordered millions of toothpicks made with precious Chinese bamboo at the rate of $1 for every 1000 toothpicks. Sure it generated a lot of money for the Chinese and they were nonethless delighted with the trade. But little did they realize that as soon as these toothpicks reached Japan, they were being turned into pencils and shipped back to China at $1 a pencil. So what is the story here.. Japan didnt have raw materials, so they imported mass from China. Turned them into finished goods and sent them back.

No that is not true :-) I didn't go to IIT, nor did I go to Cornell, in real world its not all 1's and 0's :-) but it is true, I have even heard of cases where people couldn't get into IIT for a bachelor's degree and have got masters from MIT.
There are so many people who never have attempted to enter into IIT for some personal reason, doesn't necessarily mean they are not smart.
BTW, I am from those 99,000 or so mentioned in the mail before.
Now pls. don't conclude from this that I am smart or dumb :-)

Bryce, ofcourse no one bought a toothpick pencil! The Japanese didnt have enough wood to make pencils, so they imported Chinese bamboo as toothpicks which gave them the raw material in a well processed form.
Don, this story was given to me by a Chinese colleague at work. She and I were having a discussion about the Chinese economy in recent years.
Finally! San, please stop replying to every post.
