Georgia kids who lack the grades for UGA often go to Alabama, Kentucky, or Tennessee.
Tennessee and UGA are getting pretty close. So I would just leave Alabama and Kentucky.
Tennessee's acceptance rate is a lot higher tha. Georgia's.

Tennessee isn’t in UGA’s tier.
It actually is. Sorry. UGA is average.
UGA is a top public university. Is Tennessee even in the top 100?

Oh on your street. So you guys are the intellectual kings. Smart kids are going where they will be happy and also where they may receive a free education on merit money down south. No one cares about Ivy anymore. It is a down brand.
No one cares about Ivy? Bwaaaaaahhhhhhh have you actually spent time on this board? lol
Yeah, the middle aged Asian dads in this site care A LOT! Especially remedial math at Harvard guy!
Can’t assume they’re Asian. Asian parent here and some of us have kids who aren’t tracked for Multivariable calculus in high school.
Some Asian parents have kids at SEC schools.
Vanderbilt is very Asian now.
All top 20s are very Asian, except maybe Notre Dame.
Is that a reason kids are moving to SEC schools?
Yes, they cant get in better schools.
This is true, check the common data sets, the students aren't elite
Why do you care where someone else’s kid goes?
I don't--people can go wherever they want. However, the narrative that competitive NE students are flocking to the SEC just isn't true.
It actually is.

This is just not true. My kid is going to a SEC school…got into “better” schools but going where he believes he will be happiest and wants the warm weather and sports combination.
Same- DS was accepted to a higher ranking but smaller SLAC. Opted for the SEC school instead.

No. Most students applying to the top 20 or so schools are looking for the best school for them. And these schools often have a lot of students with an east asia or south asia background. No one is saying no to Vanderbilt or similar because there are too many asian students. In fact, I'd say schools that have above average numbers are more desirable because they are more focused on talent rather than the particulars of their demographics.[/quote]
Top 20 schools are not more focused on talent. It is comical that you think top 20 schools are not focused on demographics. Why do you think there is a huge push for FGLI or rural students at top 20s? Top 20s are also more focused on legacies, impactful ECs and uniquely packaged kids with a “compelling narrative.” Tons of talented kids at southern schools. Get over yourself.

My Southern kid opted for a T-25 private university but they could have gone to an SEC university and gotten just as good an education AND a stronger alumni professional/social network in the South. I moved to the South many years ago with my Northeastern SLAC degree and guess what- almost all of my bosses have been SEC grads. I’m not putting down the Northeastern schools coveted by many on this board but there’s a big world out there! Get over the snobbery.

SEC good students are a different breed. They do not care what you think. They do what is for them and know they will work hard and make things happen. Give me a self motivated kid with a good attitude any day of the week.
Unless some of the liberal schools fix the snobby factor more kids are going south.
