re: SEC Schools : Enrollment % by State (per University enrollment reports)

Those are somewhat surprising numbers for Carolina. I know that it's had a solid rise in quality of applicants over the last 5-10 years, but that's strong.

Don't have the exact same breakdown for UGA, but First Year class profile for 2015 was pretty impressive:

All based on overall average and those that fall between the 25th and 75th percentile:

High School Core Grade Point Average
Middle 50% of All Enrolled First-Year Students: 3.81 - 4.06
Overall Average of All Enrolled First-Year Students: 3.91
Middle 50% of All Enrolled Honors Students: 4.00 - 4.18
Middle 50% of All Scholarship Students: 3.95 - 4.16

Standardized Tests
SAT-I Middle 50% of Admitted First-Year Students: 1810 - 2060
ACT Middle 50% of Admitted First-Year Students: 27 -31

Also an interesting tidbit that continues to tell the story of transplants in the state of Georgia (only 13% are actually out of state admits):

48% of the new first-year students had Social Security numbers assigned in a state other than Georgia.
