That’s a piece but not entirely helpful when they don’t have room for all the high stats students who apply. |

Look at the stats. Not admission rates.
4.2 GPA. 28.7 ACT. For class of 28. https://www.auburn.edu/admissions/classof2028/index.php Good luck. My DS just started last week! |
| It’s Alabama not Afghanistan. If your child can’t handle 4-years in a college bubble in a state with different political leanings than you, then you are not doing a good job parenting and your child’s lack of resilience and flexibility is going to greatly hinder future success. Also, your lack of tolerance for different view points is exactly what you are accusing others of. |
| As someone said, Auburn basically requires test scores (which explains in part the lower average test score number compared to similar schools). |
You seem to want to counterpoint everyone’s helpful input. You are correct they do not have room for all the high stats students who apply but many of those high stats students will choose to attend other institutions. Early action rounds are for high stat students. If your child is not a high stat, wait until regular round. This is your students journey, not yours. |
+1 And OP needs to insist that the kid apply EA to a safety that is similar to Auburn. LSU, Kentucky, Bama, Ole Miss, etc. That acceptance will be a comfort blanket if deferred by Auburn. |
Very odd reply. You do realize that Auburn is in Alabama? Not avoiding the state. Just don’t love Bama the school. |
DP Bama and Auburn are really not drastically different. Having a preference is fine, but some reflection is needed if one is a non-starter because again, they’re not that different. |
They are very different. So different I don’t believe you’ve been to both campuses. |
What are you talking about? |
NP. They are indeed very, very different. The students are different. The campus vibe is different. The surrounding city is different. You don't know until you visit both. |
Auburn has a stronger profile. How else are students different? How is the vibe different? City? |
Is Auburn a safety for kids that miss UGA? |
| I would not say that. It is an easier admit and many kids do apply to both. But it isn’t a “safety” |
