You sound like a lovely person.

I am.

And I have zero patience for the idiot a-holes trying to destroy our country.

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.

Not equivalent in any way, but…

Mixed housing, including affordable housing
~30% FRM
<40% white

I was a little off in my demographics:
38% FRM
32% white

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.

Ohhh you can’t respond to my argument huh? Must have struck a nerve.

There was no “argument”. Just gaslighting BS.

How far are the affordable units? Have you ever had them over for dinner?

Uh…no not at all if you’re top of the class- as suggested tbt this article that students are going from ivy->SEC. The top 6% automatically get into Ut- which has a 30% acceptance rate. Top 10% automatically get into A&M and has a 60% acceptance rate. It isn’t difficult getting into these schools if you’re ivy material.

You don’t get it. Not everyone cares about ivies. Kids in the south want a top flagship or southern ivy

More like not enough schools. California has 9 flagship universities and 22 CSUs. Even if you don’t want to go there, you have the entirety of the Claremont colleges, Caltech, Stanford, USC, and Oxy. And that’s just if you want to go to a “top” college or CSU.

Those are both oxymoron when talking about southern schools.

No I do get it- I’m from Texas! This isn’t an abstract idea. Pretty much anyone with a pulse gets into A&M. Most kids who were progressive were UT Austin or bust and left the state.

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.

+1

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?

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

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

They don’t even apply to podunk ivies

They aren’t getting in. Sad.

They’re not applying to the Ivies because people in their social
Circles in the South didn’t attend Ivies or northeastern SLAC’s. They don’t care about those schools. It’s not considered a birthright or entitlement or badge of honor for a high stats kid to attend an Ivy.

Outdated mindset, boomer

The title of the article is misleading. No one is considering SEC schools over Ivy League schools - except for Vanderbilt and some students that got awesome scholarships. The SEC is a sports league.

But I think the gist of the article is that above average students don’t like their options in the northeast. And schools like Georgia and Florida and Alabama and so on seem much more appealing than UMass, UConn, SUNY etc.

Which I think is a fair point.
