I'm sorry, but the shit coming out of your mouth really stinks- have some toilet paper.
For the past four years, more State of Iowa National Merit Scholars have selected Iowa State University over all other Iowa institutions of higher education combined.
funny, I dont see that other Iowa university- the one that ranks #1 in the state in cases of rape and pot-possession charges- in the top ten here:

So the University of Florida is the best public school in the country, by your assessment? I'm sure Cal will be interested in your findings.
Interestingly, I went to the feeder school that produces around 40% of all Iowa National Merit Scholars (as of 99, when I graduated) - of these I know exactly one that went to ISU, he went because it was free for NMS. That may or may not have impact on that statistic - apparently that's a pretty good incentive, it would appear.
