Max and Saamiyaar,


Now we know why he went to Iowas state. I raised the question long back.


He could have asked the universities to waive the application fee citing hardship. I am sure they would have.

in his days - the late 80s, it was not easy to get into Iowa State, Ohio state, Texas A & M or Purdue. they would not touch a non-IIT application. the ranking was totally different from what it is now for those schools. i recall GT ranking was in the 20s while the ohio st and Iowa St were in top 15 in many areas.

>>>I know a couple of guys who went to Iowa State who must have been his classmates from IIT. The no-fee thing now makes sense.
