The truth is, the smart kids are only after a few of the southern schools: UGA, UF, Clemson, UNC, Vanderbilt. No one with good stats is claiming Bama is their dream school. Its a safety school at best.

Nice try at sneaking Clemson into that list. Clemson also isn’t in the SEC. UNC isn’t either but at least they’re a peer to UGA, UF, Vandy.

There are also lots of kids in the Northeast heading south to non-SEC schools like Wake Forest, Tulane, Duke and UMiami (in addition to UNC, Clemson, Duke).

Stop trying to sneak Clemson into lists of prestigious schools, it’s not working.

Well, in the south, there's Duke, Vanderbilt, and Rice. And then the best publics would be Texas, followed by UVA and UNC. I would add Georgia Tech too. And I do think smart kids are going to Alabama because that school has been very good with merit and is keenly trying to get them. I do believe Alabama will be like a Georgia or Florida eventually because they are making the effort.

You don’t get Alabama. If you are in one of the programs and are in the top couple hundred kids down there, the world is yours. Research, small classes, incredible grad school support, top jobs. Their med school placement is amazing. And these kids find each other quickly. Agree that after the top kids, the remainder are less academic. Alabama, and maybe the SEC because they all have so much money, is one of those schools where the quality of the faculty is far far higher than most of the student body.

Start with catching up to Auburn first.

My NMF chose Alabama and I’ve joined the parent groups. Tons of smart kids graduating and headed off to top medical, law and business schools.

It’s not “tons” of kids or the overall stats would be much higher.

Duke has been a national school for a 100 years and has little chance in common with the Southern flagships, Vanderbilt, and SMU. There is a very large migration of northern and midwestern kids to the rest of the schools most likely impacting private safeties in the Northeast.

UGA was 37% acceptance rate for 2024, Clemson was 38% acceptance, and Alabama 45%- these are not huge variations

There’s a cohort of smart kids there among the 40k student body. But sure - keep thinking it’s just a bunch of dumb kids.

They certainly aren’t going for the academics.

In our private many kids were offered merit $ at the SEC schools. With OOS costs closer to instate options, good academics, fun atmosphere, good weather, and etc, it makes sense. Good for them to get out of this bubble for a few years.

Disagree. It’s warm weather, big sports that unite a student body, work/life balance and the pull of a slower pace after getting burned out in the rat race of high school in the Northeast. Oh at let’s not forget cost…these schools offer great merit money to high performing kids.

Where are you getting your Alabama figures.

Research says it was 76% for Fall 2024 admission.
