Quote:I have no figures for applications from Iowa in that time frame, but I'm pretty sure it was a pretty low number.Â I was frequently asked where I would be attending college, and when I replied,"Stanford", half the time the inquirer would react by saying something like,"Oh that is wonderful!Â But are you sure you'll be OK being way out in Connecticut?".

MANY years ago, when I informed my Iowa high school counselor that I planned to take the SATs, he responded, "Why? The University of Iowa doesn't require them."

The idea of applying to an elite school or even going far away for college just wasn't normal.
