I wouldn't trust the guy that told me what I posted previously on many topics, but academics at Alabama is one of them. Alabama is a good school, and you won't hear me argue with that unless I'm just trying to get a rise out of someone. I took his word as a UA graduate, an involved alumni, and an educator in the state.

Also, I feel like I've read that the two schools count their incoming class average test scores differently, but I'm having trouble finding the link on my phone. I'll try to remember to look it up when I get to a computer later.


That is what I have heard. The acceptance rate at UA is lower, but that is because students in Alabama know not to apply to AU unless you have a certain ACT.

That may be part of the reason but it's also due to the fact that Alabama has advertised and recruited extensively out of state driving up the number of out of state applicants.
