Why do you care? Jealous much? Maybe they don't want to go to UGA

As for UGA, UF, and UTexas , it's much harder to get into these schools. I seriously do not know abou UTenn, but I'll say it's the same.

And most students would rather sacrifice the money for out of state , to attend a big name state university for all the social aspects.

Contrary to the bullshite that gets posted on here so much by the uga fans, a vast majority of the Atlanta kids that go to Bama or AU do so because they want to experience something different than high school friends. Out of the 15 or so kids from my graduating class, every one of them except me could have gotten into UGA. I didn't apply to any Georgia schools because I wanted to be well away from home. And my reason for going to AU was chasing a girl like a dumbass, who ended up going to Clemson which was tougher to get into. It's just a thing around Atlanta that a portion of kids are drawn to the two main Alabama schools. They want to be far enough away from the parents to be independent, but close enough to go home when they want. Athens is a fun town, but no way would I have chosen it over Auburn, and I'm sure the Atlanta area Bama kids would say the same thing. All three campuses offer different things that resonate with certain kids.

There has been more bull shite spouted in this thread than there has ever been on the rant... it is truly pathetic the extent to which some people go to discredit anything positive about the University of Alabama. It is obsession and jealousy at its finest. Its really just pathetic...

Why do we care?

Every school in the SEC has low admission standards outside of Vandy, UF, A&M, and UGA (to a lesser extent). Bama (and Ole Miss) has been recruiting out-of-state students more heavily than other SEC schools.

Why do we care, again?
