[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t imagine getting into T20 and choosing Alabama. Is it because of money only? Parents didn’t save up for college?[/quote]

Easy to imagine....

4 kids to put through college @ full pay.

One kid goes undergrad for free and funds parents saved will pay for top law/grad school (also @ full pay which will cost approx. $300k+).

[/quote]But what makes you think they will get into a top law school after Alabama?[/quote]

Wouldn’t a kid who got into Harvard undergrad but attended Alabama have as good or better chance of getting into a top law school from Alabama. Is there some secret sauce at a T20 school that is going to make a kid smarter? Or is it the fact that a kid had the intelligence and work ethic to get into a top 20 school and not the top 20 school that is the differentiator. [/quote]

Exactly. I posted earlier about the Alabama students who earned Rhodes, Eisenhower and Fulbright scholarships. Alabama is now at 17 (including 2024) Rhodes Scholars and Auburn was at 5 as of 2023.

A smart, motivated kid is going to be successful wherever they go to school. I
wouldn’t be worried about my Harvard accepted kid attending Alabama being locked out of elite grad schools. I recently hired an Alabama grad over an Ivy grad and they attended the same law school. It’s all about the student. [/quote]
