I see I never commented on this post. I meant to but got distracted. Of course I got the same version as you of how he got admitted to the university (without the being Jewish component, just that his grades weren't that great so the Principal changed them to A's). As I think I told you, he told me that he was Jewish the summer after my freshman year in college. But even then he didn't indicate that that was the reason he was initially not accepted to the University.

Yes, I'm not sure he told anyone the "real" version of that story about University, but he alluded to it in one of the drafts of his autobiography
