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.

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.

Georgia Tech had over 67,000 applications last year (12,500 from within the State of GA and approx 54,500 from OOS) Accepted 12% Overall. OOS 9% IN-State 30%.

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.

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 are accepted to both.

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

Facts don’t fit the narrative.

What’s the narrative?

That there are tons of kids turning down Ivy League schools for UGA or UF.

Where was that posted?

Largest cohort was 49% OOS private

Less than a 1/4 stayed in state

Nowhere…even the article which is the subject of this thread didn’t talk at all about kids picking southern schools over Ivy schools…except in the clickbait headline.

Better to go to non-ivy. Ivy League schools have strange student bodies- filled with weird try-hards.

Haven’t read through the thread yet but snooty, liberal, north eastern coded DCUM must be losing their minds over this.

lol what's your point. I'm confused. The OP here is that many kids from across the country are choosing to apply and attend schools in the south, including from the Northeast. Someone just posted, for instance, Georgia Tech had 67,000 applications. Over 54,500 from outside the State of Georgia with a a 9% acceptance rate. They only accepted 30% of the kids who applied from Georgia (which is very low for a public institution see UT Austin at 41%, UMich 39%, UNC 48%). 54,500 were wanting to come to Georgia from outside of the state . Isn't that the point of OP. Your point is so weird.

I can only speak for myself but it’s stunning how clueless we were about the rest of the country in the 80s and 90s. Social media and YouTube has made kids hyper aware of these colleges and regions before a campus tour. To me as a dumb propagandized high schooler in the 80s, the south seemed a world away, backwater, full of dumb and slow hicks. To kids now, the south is booming and fun, students look happy and attractive, academic programs are world class, merit scholarships can be life changing, and you get sunny weather instead of the cold, snow and grey skies.

Hopefully the influx of people who previously looked down on them won’t ruin the culture that makes these places so attractive.

The fact that this thread could hit 30 pages is sufficient evidence that the snobs are having a collective meltdown. If it didn’t bother them they wouldn’t feel the need to post. The SEC must have struck a nerve.

If they were smart and secure, they could just ignore this thread. But they can’t, and I appreciate that because they are so funny when they’re mad.

There's so much copium in these southern trashy posts. Because everyone's own kid is so special and it's obviously their choice to go to some school 3 tiers lower in the armpit of America.

Something no one without a rich parent alumnus would ever say. Might as well admit you're going to party and possibly spouse shop.
