If she didn’t get into UGA, she’s not getting into W&M.

UGA is really competitive. Not sure what you're talking about. Esp OOS.

Their 75th percentile SAT is a full 100 points lower.

Is the person who keeps commenting about how awful Columbia is, just trying to get all of those who were deferred to take it off their list so their kid gets in? Parts of Columbia-yes, not so great-at all. Other parts are nice. loved part around campus and area where restaurants/bars/shops are. It was bustling with kids, business people, and general people coming and going from their employment. Stadium area-the pits

UGA has a better ranking.

Overheard at SC "if we got into Clemson, we would have gone there"

Tennessee caught a tough draw having to travel to Ohio State for the first round, but the cold weather won't have the impact some are saying it will. (Do people not realize how cold it gets in Knoxville?)

South Carolina was the "hottest team in the country" at the end of the season and got robbed of the last playoff spot. Just ask them, they'll tell you.

+1 South Carolina beat Clemson in football and basketball this year. Great school spirit in Columbia.

Of the 45% submitting (vs. test-required at UGA)...

SC business and SC honors college are both harder to get into than Clemson

You are correct that Clemson is in the middle of nowhere and outside of the school there really is nothing to do nearby. Yes, it's 50 min from Greenville but there's basically nothing there either. If your kid really wants to go there have them spend some extended time there to see if being that isolated is something they're ok with.

-kid transferred out of Clemson due to how isolated it is

SC was founded first which makes Clemson little brother.

We will visit. I hear Clemson is beautiful and on a lake but middle of nowhere. UTK is cute but not beautiful but nice facilities and cute little town and villages next to it.

DD less excited about SC

Ultimate goal is UGA probably (deferred) so need to visit these in the meantime.

Has other options too (and some higher ranked) but wanted to check these as we like the warm/southern/friendly vibe.

Hillbilly menage trois?

The amount of record breaking apps speak for themselves!

No one gives a flying crap about honors college rankings. Employers sure as hell don't.
