Very odd reply. You do realize that Auburn is in Alabama? Not avoiding the state. Just don’t love Bama the school.
DP Bama and Auburn are really not drastically different. Having a preference is fine, but some reflection is needed if one is a non-starter because again, they’re not that different.
They are very different. So different I don’t believe you’ve been to both campuses.
What are you talking about?
NP. They are indeed very, very different. The students are different. The campus vibe is different. The surrounding city is different. You don't know until you visit both.
Auburn has a stronger profile. How else are students different? How is the vibe different? City?

How about UGA?
DP but UGA OOS is no safety either.

That’s a piece but not entirely helpful when they don’t have room for all the high stats students who apply.
You seem to want to counterpoint everyone’s helpful input. You are correct they do not have room for all the high stats students who apply but many of those high stats students will choose to attend other institutions. Early action rounds are for high stat students. If your child is not a high stat, wait until regular round. This is your students journey, not yours.
