How good is Iowa State?

@chautrinh - I suspect, but don’t know, that Iowa State’s formula-based, rapid admission process attracts many applicants. If you already know based on the formula that you won’t be admitted, then there’s little sense in even applying. Any way, just speculation.

My youngest son is a sophomore engineering student at ISU from Arizona. He loves it there. He got freshman research experience, which allowed him to get a summer internship. At the career fair he interviewed with a steel company which just had him in for a day-long interview. It looks like he will be co-oping next semester.

My son turned down Arizona, Arizona State, Alabama, and Michigan State. He seems to be getting as good an engineering education as his brothers at Miami University and Texas A & M. We have been very impressed too. Campus is lovely and Ames is a nice college town.
