Record number of high schoolers swapping the Ivy League for the SEC thanks to sunshine, campus culture - The Times

A lot of these kids will get good jobs through family connections whether they graduate from Wharton or Ole Miss.

UAB isn’t Alabama. You people are so dumb lol you don’t even know your SEC schools and you keep citing stats for the worst ones. Too afraid to talk about UF and UGA huh?

Run UGA against various schools…75% select Penn, 76% select Princeton, 78% select Brown. Those were the only Ivy comparisons where they had enough data for UGA.

For UF, 67% pick Penn. Thats the only Ivy comparison with enough data.

Did you honestly think it would be different?

That isn’t a reliable tool and you know it. Plenty of kids prefer the SEC. You should get out more, really.

Maybe - but who really cares? My DC just started a 2 year grad program at an Ivy. Compared to their state school undergrad it is very serious and cold and campus just doesn’t seem fun at all. It’s dead on weekends and so diverse - when students do gather it is cliques of kids from all sorts of cultures speaking their own language when they are together and it is hard to break in - even in DCs program (DC is very outgoing and social btw). Students tend to walk around solo on their phones vs with friend groups. It’s a different experience being a grad student vs. undergrad but you still pick up on the vibes around campus. White kids are a minority and also have their own cliques - dc thinks their state u did a better job of mixing groups overall - their state school was also diverse, but much more upbeat and integrated. FWIW DC had many POC friends in both HS and undergrad, so diversity itself is not the issue - it’s the lack of integration and socialization more generally. Anyway - I imagine that environment is not appealing to everybody. DC is thankful they did not go there for undergrad.

Are kids these days really this needy and loserish? How is anyone going to do a real study abroad (not through some fake academic program) or live alone as an adult? It's really not that hard for college kids to make friends as long as they're active, are somewhat intelligent, and have a personality.

It’s not because they aren’t accepted at UGA or Tech…it’s because they have $$$s and free tuition just isn’t a factor in their decision. It’s not like their private HS was cheap.

You’ve posted this before and if I recall you were proven wrong. Cherry picking. And also, who gives a shit

Absolutely incorrect. Check online as college matriculation info. is available to the public for the top private schools in the Atlanta area.

There are also many full pay high stats kids at Southern private schools who opt for their state flagship or neighboring state flagships because of family tradition or wanting the kind of social/campus life/alumni network that’s offered there. Auburn, UGA, USC, UF to name a few...

It’s the most reliable tool there is and what PP was trying to refute.

Most kids don’t apply to both and even fewer kids aren’t accepted to both.

You are the one who shit posts constantly on this thread…so talk about getting out more.

Just checked Westminster and it’s 82%…so if your argument was over 6% then you are correct.

Incorrect.

Westminster School grads (largest, wealthiest private school in Atlanta also has the highest endowment of any private high school on the US lower 48 mainland): 76% attend non-Georgia colleges & universities. The out-of-state schools are overwhelmingly located in other Southern states. (Auburn, U Alabama, Wake Forest U., Wash & Lee, Vanderbilt, Duke, U Virginia, UNC, Tulane, Rhodes, Clemson, U Miami, etc.) U Georgia (94), Georgia Tech (66), and Emory (16). TCU (25), SMU, U Texas.

Among the Ivy League, Yale is the most popular with 13 students matriculating over a 5 year period. Next is Dartmouth College with 12, then Brown (11), then Harvard (8). Boston College is popular (10) as is BU (11), then Middlebury College (5). Georgetown (22). Stanford (20).

For class of 2024, 82% went OOS. It’s right there in the pie chart.
