This has got to be a joke. Sure, I'll encourage my DD to throw away her hard work and dreams to go to Bama, join a sorority, and meet a DB frat boy to marry. So much progress!

Don Beyer owned a dealership chain. Went to Gonzaga then Williams and is a Congressman.

It is not the bottom 50th percentile going to these schools. Not the top 15%, but certainly not the bottom 50% percent.

I wouldn’t personally want to go to the south right now but I do see the appeal. Well, I don’t see the appeal for some of them like Oklahoma or Missouri or Arkansas or Kentucky oh wait…

Years prior I saw a lot more students opting to attend schools in the south.
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?
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.
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…
It's called having options. My DD's friend got into Kentucky and LSU for example but ultimately decided to go to Wisconsin.
That’s not a fair comparison. That kid would go south if they got in a top SEC flagship like UGA or UF.
+1. Or if they didn’t get into Wisconsin.
UGA/UF vs Wisconsin is a coin flip between peers.
I wasn’t comparing UGA/UF to wisconsin; I was comparing Kentucky and LSU to Wisconsin. Reading comprehension is key.
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.
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.
You clearly don’t understand I’m not responding to that specific poster.
But the response you gave was in response to me and I was responding to that poster. So your comment was not on topic and was irrelevant. Anyway, I’m done responding to you. You are too dense.
You seem like an angry elf.

Their comparisons aren’t ridiculous; they were just responding to the schools PP said their friends kid ae deciding between which were: Kentucky, LSU, and Wisconsin, where the kid ultimately decided to go. Everyone is aware that Wisconsin is far superior to Kentucky and LSU. That was the whole point of this little side thread. You should try to keep up.

47% OOS is significant. Tons of NE kids at SC.
And even more of the OOS kids at SC are from the south.
