DCUMartinets will shank you for that candid statement.

Here not many want to go to Columbia/Barnard, Swarthmore or Oberlin.

This is an odd selection. Swarthmore and Columbia have grinder reputations, Barnard is all female and Oberlin attracts smart music and art students so I would never group them together. I don't see many students picking LSU or 'Bama over BC or Colgate. UGA and SC seem to be more popular than Univ of FL (too many online classes), but WI continues to be strong and MN is on the rise.

I’m seeing lots of kids committing to the SEC this year.

Years prior I saw a lot more students opting to attend schools in the south.

Why do you think they’re opting not to attend? If they are opting not to go for political reasons, why did they even apply in the first place?

NP here. Some are saying they want to stay away from the political craziness and others are picking schools that have better reputations academically. The weather isn't the biggest draw anymore.

Then, as I said, why even apply in the first place? It’s not like the political craziness only cropped up within the past few months…

It's called having options. My DD's friend got into Kentucky and LSU for example but ultimately decided to go to Wisconsin.

That’s not a fair comparison. That kid would go south if they got in a top SEC flagship like UGA or UF.

+1. Or if they didn’t get into Wisconsin.

UGA/UF vs Wisconsin is a coin flip between peers.

I wasn’t comparing UGA/UF to wisconsin; I was comparing Kentucky and LSU to Wisconsin. Reading comprehension is key.

OOS doesn't necessarily mean NE.

It’s common knowledge that most OOS kids come from the NE.

I’m from TN and knew a ton of kids who went to university of Alabama from TN, MS, GA, etc all over the South. I would guess many OOS students are from the south because that’s predominantly who wants to go to school in the south.

Right. It is not true that most OOS kids in SEC schools are from NE. Tons of kids from GA, FL, TX, TN etc. choose to go to an SEC school not in their state. Particularly from GA, since it is very hard to get into the state flagship. (My son is at an SEC school)

Look at the states that export the most college students. NJ is always at the top.

That doesn’t mean that most OOS kids at an SEC school are from NJ though 🙄

SC is mostly in state (53 percent)

47% OOS is significant. Tons of NE kids at SC.

And even more of the OOS kids at SC are from the south.

I’m aware of that and your comparisons are ridiculous. Nobody is deciding between Kentucky, LSU and Wisconsin. Kids that are Wisconsin material would be applying to Wisconsin’s peers in the SEC which are UGA and UF.

Except if you read the thread you will see those are precisely the schools that one of the posters said her friend’s kid was deciding between. She said that her friend’s daughter got into Kentucky and LSU but opted not to go to either bc they got into Wisconsin. You clearly didn’t read her carefully here.

Their comparisons aren’t ridiculous; they were just responding to the schools PP said their friends kid ae deciding between which were: Kentucky, LSU, and Wisconsin, where the kid ultimately decided to go. Everyone is aware that Wisconsin is far superior to Kentucky and LSU. That was the whole point of this little side thread. You should try to keep up.

But the response you gave was in response to me and I was responding to that poster. So your comment was not on topic and was irrelevant. Anyway, I’m done responding to you. You are too dense.

I wouldn’t personally want to go to the south right now but I do see the appeal. Well, I don’t see the appeal for some of them like Oklahoma or Missouri or Arkansas or Kentucky oh wait…

bottom 50 percentile have to go somewhere

It is not the bottom 50th percentile going to these schools. Not the top 15%, but certainly not the bottom 50% percent.
