[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fwiw, which is nothing. I'm from one of the southern states where all of these kids want to enroll in the state supported institutions, and I'm glad these schools are being so selective. It's not the U of ....'s job to entertain your out of state kids because they want a "fun school" in a warm climate. That is not their mission. If the school wants your kid because your kid is awesome or they want your tuition $$, great, but stop complaining about selectivity. There are thousands of in state kids who also have great stats and a bright future, AND are residents of the state that supports the institution. [/quote] I don’t know why anyone would risk going to a Florida state university. Politics have taken control of all the public schools and they are in a downward spiral. Florida got higher ratings before, mostly because of their grading system, procedures, what was used for ranking . Now that rankings are focusing on outcomes Florida some of the studies have dropped Florida’s education system with a C rating. The top public schools have always been in the Northeast and the worst have always been the Southern schools. Southern state schools are mostly students coming from these schools. Desantis, the one in charge of bringing the Florida public schools down went to Harvard and Yale. [/quote] UVA and UNC are better than any public schools in the Northeast.[/quote] I think they meant public K-12 schools. Clearly public universities in south are stronger than their northern counterparts. UVA, UNC like you mentioned but also UGA, GT, Florida. They do a good job attracting top students with in-state scholarships, competitive merit for OOS students and then high quality of life with weather, sports, attractive campuses. It’s attractive for top students. [/quote]
