scores get to America.

Actually, it's more like Rs. 10,000 which would be about $250. I've
seen people pay 100 times that much to get admission. What can I say...
Things have improved in some ways, but have gotten worse in a lot of
other ways too.

Rs would make more sense, but the article put the $ sign in front of it. Dambed
media, 1:1 currency conversions really screw things up.
