[quote=Anonymous]Answering the OPs original question as they look to the college landscape for their HS junior, OOS public flagship admits have gotten a lot harder since 2023 (when your current college student applied).

Auburn, for example, released stats on the first round of admits this cycle and OOS kids who were admitted had a GPA of 4.27 and an ACT of 30.8 (that converts to roughly 1400 SAT). The defer line was 3.95/25.1 so the grades you mention would likely not have resulted in an acceptance.  This info was released from Auburn directly so pretty reliable.

Most of these schools rely heavily on weighted GPAs and private schools simply don’t offer the number of AP classes the publics do (this is a generalization for sure so take it fwiw).

These days, the lowest third of the class seems to be looking to private colleges as well as the next round of OOS publics (Penn State, Ohio state, Indiana, South Carolina, Ole Miss) bc Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, and Florida are pretty hard admits these days (akin to what UVA, UNC, Michigan and Texas were a decade ago).  Tennessee has gotten a lot more competitive too.

Hope that helps! [/quote]
