Big 6


In order to qualify for Big 6, you have to accept less than 80% of applicants. Sorry.

It's far and away the more popular test in the south.

...and a MUCH smaller % from in-state otherwise those scores would bottom out.

The only people I knew that took the SAT went to college in the Northeast or out West.

Vice versa for me. Everyone takes the ACT. Only people who took the SAT were those going to PAC12 schools or Ivy League.

In auburn's defense about the acceptance rate, they aren't exactly the state bandwagon school like the other so they don't have everyone and their mama applying to coattail the athletic department.

Bama has more National Merit Scholars enrolled than any other public University in the entire country. Also lead the nation in Academic All-Americans, and we just had a guy turn down all of the Ivy League schools to take a scholarship at Alabama.

So there's that.

I donno, but based on the numbers, Auburn does appear to be the better place and I don't like either one of your schools.

1 point of a difference in the ACTs, yes, but nearly 50 in the SATs. Plus, they earn more than Alabama grads.

If that extra $250 a month difference on average seems like a big deal to you, then most likely you make way less than either.
