DD got into her first choice - Nazareth University in Rochester. Merit was pretty good - now we wait for the full financial picture.

Wonderful! Is your DC excited?

Thank you! He’s so excited; he’s a good kid but his grades aren’t great (3.8 weighted and 1400 SAT) and he’s been panicking hearing about all his other friends getting in elsewhere already. It’s a great option for him.

Yeah, you have 9 months to go -- start looking into xl bedding not crib sheets.

That's fantastic! Congratulations!

We applied recently, but it seemed we wouldn't hear anything until after uploading midterm grades. Did you all need to do that?

Seriously what is it with this school and on this board?? Different poster.

I have never visited Auburn, but people who have rave about it.

What I think is attractive is all the other people applying to these large, larger, southern and SEC type “fun” schools that are still a great education and relatively affordable compared to similar schools in the northeast.

Plus, Auburn is pretty strong academically (relative to some other large southern school choices) and gives great merit for the right stats.

I am the first one who asked. I actually have family (in-law) there and yes, the campus is pretty. Just a generation ago, you only needed a pulse and a social security number to get in, and now it seems to be all the rage. Fascinating how they have been able to capture what's going on with the SEC schools, etc. It is "fun" but also, IMHO a little more small town and you get a lot of Southern culture there (being religious is mainstream, e.g.), etc. It's also like the Va Tech of AL so more of a STEM school so maybe that is what certain people are looking for?

I am sure the culture is changing with all of the OOS interest--I am just wondering how all of a sudden it seems to be so popular among people who may end up feeling like fish out of water there (maybe not given how many OOS students they seem to be admitting/courting).

So much can change in a generation! Especially when a school is actively seeking to draw more of a national student body rather than a solely regional student body.

For example, I went to Duke in the 1990s. My alumni interviewer was my parents' age, and it felt like he was talking about a completely different school than the one I visited. His experience in the late 1960s was of a regional school with far less academic rigor and a student body almost exclusively from the southeast. By 1990, it was already a very national school.

This is very kind of you. He's struggled a bit and all his friends have much better scores so I appreciate that.
