The "original" Bill Gates did go to university..
In fact he went to Harvard as prelaw student ( why law???) . But he never finished his studies.
But he was gifted. He scored 1590 in SAT. (Highest score for SAT is 1600)
I got only 1100 ( 750 in Math, 350 in English) - If my mother-tounge is English, I would have scored 1500.
But thats still less than Bill Gates's results.
