an incredibly good US law school thinks that for its academic Masters programme, I am better than seventy percent of the people who applied.
Well, DUH. They would have to be incredibly dense not to see how superior you are. :) That's awesome, and certainly something to feel good about.
Also, what a lovely story. I will admit, I got a little teary reading it. (My father has always wanted to go see the bit of Northern Ireland that is The Land of His Father(s) [our family name is supposed engraved on a courthouse square in Belfast], and I've always wanted to be able to be the one to take him there. So that struck a chord-- although I doubt a trip to Belfast would be nearly as exciting as the adventures your family had in Bangladesh!)
