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.

Largest cohort was 49% OOS private

Less than a 1/4 stayed in state

Guess what sweetie? The world doesn’t revolve around Atlanta private schools. Nobody gives a shit.

Exactly. Poster is ignoring the 57,000 plus applying OOS from a lot of private schools much better than those around Atlanta from all over the country and the 70% actually rejected throughout the State of Georgia. Such a weird argument or point they are trying to make..

Gatech isnt even the best school in Georgia, give it a rest.

lol why don't you go get ready for Thanksgiving Dinner.

Probably because the anti SEC crowd are loners. That’s why they’re jealous

I remember visiting a friend who attended ASU and thinking it was like a resort and somewhat unserious. The dorm was a former motel and the rooms had sliding glass doors that opened to a pool area.

Given the choice and all other things being equal 9 out of 10 American teens would choose to do four years of college with sunny and 75 weather over grey skies, snowy sidewalks, and a bone chilling windchill. Same reason millions of college-educated professionals in the Rust Belt have fled to Florida, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. Cold weather sucks.

These southern boosters have about the same IQ and reasoning ability as another group in a different forum on this site. Makes me wonder if many are the same people because they sound the same and either try to change the subject or do a nonsensical whataboutyou.

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?

“Too afraid to talk about UF and UGA huh?”

Where was “tons of kids turning down IVY League schools for UGA and UF”posted?

Context of the thread. Duh.

Or maybe we all agree that the vast majority of kids are NOT turning down Ivy League schools for UGA and UF?

Real liberals would go to the SEC and make it better. You’re just a hypocrite. You’re why Trump is president and young men love Charlie Kirk. Congrats, you’ve really effed up.

I’d say the kids going to UGA and UF don’t apply because they know the SEC is what they want. If they get honors they’re probably Ivy quality, just not what they wanted. This isn’t hard lol take some deep breaths

You’re finished. Game, set, match.

Are you deliberately ignoring that most southern cities are heavily segregated or are you just ignorant?

Do you live in a majority minority neighborhood?

DP, but yes. Lots of neighborhoods in the DC area are. I'm a Southerner. My kid is getting a much less segregated upbringing where we live outside DC than I did in the South.

You might have a point if this were Vermont Rural Moms but it isn't.

How diverse is your neighborhood? What percentage of your kid’s school is on free lunch? If you can’t answer these questions then you’re no better than the people you hate.

Oh no, I’m not asking about DC. Your street, your school. The classes your kid sits in. The mostly white magnet programs don’t count either.
