UGA admissions stats for incoming Class of 2025:
Avg GPA: 4.0
Avg ACT: 32 (out of 36)
Avg SAT: 1400 (out of 1600)
To suggest that A&M or Mizzou, each of which accepts the vast majority of applicants, is even comparable to UGA is objectively incorrect and not supported by the data.
Mizzou has an average ACT of 26 and accepts 80% of its applicants. The average Mizzou student would have viewed UGA as a “far reach” school, comparable to UNC or UVA in regard to admissions competition.
SEC Academic Rankings:
1. Vanderbilt
2. UGA, UF, UT-Austin (tie)
3. A&M (accepts 75% of applicants), U. South Carolina (tie)
4. The rest.
Outside of Vanderbilt, “ranking” is not outcome determinative. Ceteris peribus, an LSU or Ole Miss grad with a 4.0 will beat out a UGA or UF grad with a 3.3.

Acceptance rate is a misleading criteria for this topic. A&M turns down less applicants because it's transparent about the minimum entrance requirements.

This is pretty far off...congrats on the freshman class though, seriously. A&M is better than Georgia, they have a high acceptance rate based on state rules but they get very smart students.
I'm not sure what list you're using but the first ones that pop up on google are terrible and have all kinds of nonsensical criteria that is misleading, like acceptance rate.
This ( LINK) is a realistic list based on:
Quality of Education
Alumni Employment Rank
Quality of Faculty
Research Performance Rank
(National Rank)(World Rank)
Texas (21)(33)
Vanderbilt (32)(53)
A&M (41)(74)
Florida (47)(86)
Georgia (73)(204)
Missouri (77)(217)
