Dean Byrd said that he would but the legislature won't allow it. However, it might not be so bad. A fairly large percentage of those in state students have lower scores. This might translate into less competition for top grades (more likely not). Until first semester grades come out, it's a mystery.

I remember him saying that he could instantly raise the median by a few points merely by lowering that requirement by 5%. He talked about how difficult it is to comply with the requirement. It seemed clear to me that he would lower the requirement to 45% give or take.

I remember that too; that if the requirement was lowered to 45%, it wouldn't force him to take lower quality Iowa residents rather than higher quality non-residents (that the natural rate would be ~45% Iowa residents/~55% out of staters). But, I imagine if he had his druthers he would get rid of it all together. It would definitely make his life a lot easier.

As an international student, I would love to work for some firms that have established or are seeking to forge a business relationship in the Asian market. That leaves mainly big firms in big cities. Iowa's reputation in the midwest and its geographic closeness to Chicago is a huge pro, while Tulane seems to have a relatively better national replacement, esp. in NY. So...

Wait, admissions or financial aid has been rude (as they're totally separate at Iowa)? I found admissions to be super nice and helpful, while financial aid awfully rude.

The fact is that it's there. As far as site quality goes, Iowa's is comparable to the old Yahoo Geocities sites. I'm not bashing the school, but that website is a joke.

Only three weeks until they tell you how much debt you will accrue. Bring it on!

The site does suck - no argument here - but Madison's virtual tour is hardly the example to use in proving the point.
