[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you don’t understand is that DCUM only loves prestigious schools. As long as UT Austin is on the top 10-20 whatever list status seeking parents will love that school. Most state flagships accept their own state students from a variety of high schools. Their admission criteria for their instate students are much lower. This is true for UVA, Michigan, Berkely, GTech, etc..  but some parents prefer spending more on college for slightly better ranked schools. So parents send their kids to UT Austin or Michigan over UMD.. or Michigan over UVa or UVA over UMD.. or Wisconsin over UMD.. get it? Its about perceived prestige.[/quote]

GA Tech is not an easier admit for in-state students. [/quote]

UGA’s acceptance rate is below 30%, too. [/quote]

C'mon now with that nonsense. The in-state acceptance rate at UGA is over 40% acceptance rate.  Georgia Tech Overall acceptance rate is around 12%  In-state this cycle was 28% still slightly less than UGA's Overall acceptance rate of in-state and OOS. [/quote]

Your stats are outdated. UGA is below 40 in-state now. [/quote]

The vast majority of in-state applicants that apply to UGA do so Early Action. It was a 45% acceptance rate this cycle. So, you apply early action like most GA residents that's your chance of getting in.

Post the latest stats that show the final numbers. [/quote]

lol No post the numbers showing it's below 40%.  The numbers above are real.  You've shown nothing to suggest it's under 40%.  Show it. [/quote]

Nah you made the claim then posted outdated stats. I’ll let you sit with being unable to prove your claim. [/quote]

Lol No you said it’s under 40. lol show it. You can’t because it ain’t so Show your work. Just showed you 45% EA in- state the vast majority were accepted early action. So you are from GA and want to go there - have your kid apply EA they have a 45% chance at acceptance [/quote]

The most recent blog post shows an overall acceptance rate of about 30%. Common sense suggests that if the EA in-state rate was higher, the RD in-state rate would have to be lower to get to an overall rate of 30%. The OOS acceptance rate is probably 20-25%.
