<p>I’ll add Iowa State University to the list on post #17. It is very strong in the math and sciences, top notch engineering and agricultural/life sciences colleges, well-known for their (Applied) Statistics dept. Their app deadline is very late (I think one month before beginning of classes for each semester), the issue would more likely be in not finding housing if applying late. Gorgeous campus, a lot of tradition, and friendly atmosphere with many student activity options. Similar to Purdue.</p>
