[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i realize this data is up until 2023 however what have you noticed at your own schools here in the mid atlantic or elsewhere? I have noticed a trend of students in the class of 2025 [b]opting not to attend any schools in the south even though they were accepted.[/b] Years prior I saw a lot more students opting to attend schools in the south. [/quote]

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? [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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…[/quote]

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

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

+1. Or if they didn’t get into Wisconsin.[/quote]

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

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

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
