I am surprised A&M's is that high. I suppose they have a better pool of applicants and don't have to reject as many.

Imagine getting rejected by Kentucky.

Bama is giving scholarships to second-tier Louisiana kids.

By law, Texas must admit all in-state applicants who were ranked within the top 6% of their graduating class. Outside of those auto-admits, the acceptance rate is about 10%.

Meh, you can't put much stock in that. There are half a dozen ways to game those rates that universities will use to raise their scores for the various ratings rags/websites. Every year or two, the ratings groups revise how they measure it to take into account the latest gaming methods the U's have come up with.
For example, for several years back in the 00's, bama was giving everyone who applied an iTunes giftcard for $5, which is about what it cost to apply at the time. Their acceptance went to low double and even single digits for a year or two before the ratings orgs caught on.
Another things schools will do (UT Austin and Bama have both done it that I know of, I believe Aggie does as well) is that they will admit borderline students (low ACT/SAT or grades) in the summer as "provisional students" so that they don't count against their incoming Fall freshman class stats. The provisionals have to make a 3.0 to stay in school. I used to tutor them at UTexas.

I always find this a little bit overblown. I went to a school with a ~80% acceptance rate. But I could've gotten into any school on the list. Maaaaybe not Vanderbilt, but I think I could've done it. I just went in state where I wanted to go and where I could realistically afford.

Ole Miss and State have the same entrance requirements as Jackson State. It’s set by the state of Mississippi. To combat that Ole Miss makes some of their freshman courses more difficult than normal so there’s a lot that flunk out after a semester or two. State does something similar

Arkansas has almost doubled its enrollment in the last decade.
They became so obsessed with getting to 30,000 that half of new freshman are from Texas. Clearly they’ll just accept anybody.

How do you get rejected by LSU?! Not finish high school?

What are the application requirements for all of the schools?
UGA has essay requirements.
UGA has an average of 10 AP/Dual Enrollment Courses for freshmen.
With the average GPA at 4.19 (core classes) and 1270-1470 mid-range SAT, a lot of students don't bother with the essays and application fee even though UGA would be their first choice.
120,000 high school graduates a year and only 43,000 apply to UGA.

It is difficult for me to believe UGA has a 40% acceptance rate. I don't know how this is calculated, but this is difficult for me to believe. Even back in the 90's when UGA was considered a shite school, most people who applied were denied. The standards have only gotten higher since then. I'm not saying we're Vanderbilt, but 40% is off.

UK was around 70% in 2011. Then they decided to make a push for larger enrollment. Had to fill all those new dorms somehow I guess.

As much as I despise Georgia, it’s nice to know our rivalry features two prestigious academic institutions vs all you other deadbeat alternative schools.
