Not sure what to make of those numbers. Alabama's acdeptance rate was much lower in the low 60s just 4 years ago so I don't know if that was when they were getting a shitload of applications from really good students that had them as a fallback school and they didn’t get in as a fallback option then or the school is simply accepting as many decent but not great applicants to increase enrollment for revenue reasons or the extremely generous scholarships Alabama gives just aren't attractive as many good applicants as before. Either way, a 79% acceptance rate is pretty weak any way you measure it.

For the 2022-2023 admissions cycle at UF, acceptance rate was 23%.

Arkansas went from enrollment of about 20k to 31k the past decade. They actually deliberately downsized this year' incoming freshman class to be slightly smaller than the 7,000 we had last fall.
Some of the growth emphasis recently is anticipating the enrollment cliff that is coming the next few years.
Gotta keep that $$ flowing.

Yep my cousin got a full ride and then went to LSU Nex school. They’ve offered my niece a full ride and my aunt boyfriends daughter a full ride. LSU didn’t offer nearly that for any of them.

just like their entire wealth myth is based on their, again, cult alumni, desperately donating a disproportionate amount of their wealth to A&M’s endowment in an attempt to keep up with Texas
Actually A&M's endowment is under $3M. They deceivingly report assets from The University PUF, of which UT established and built to great fame by discovering oil on State assigned lands in West Texas aka the University Lands.
Aggy was fostered on third base and thinks they actually hit a triple. The fricks have never earned or accomplished anything on their own, they are the red headed step child to a wealthy donor.
They'll come running in here with some fantasy fish camp bs, but in reality they have zero clue as to the reality of their alleged "wealth" because they didn't have anything to do with creating it in the first place.
Ask the leaches why they didn't get a dime the first decade, only a 33% annual dividend distribution later and what contributions they made in developing the Santa Rita or even having rights to the land.
Aggy is the definition of "All Hat No Cattle" in it's purest form.

Good Lord.
There's not an SEC school with an endowment under $3M.
Go be stupid somewhere else.

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.

Broke? Yes. Yes I was. My parents gave me $500 towards college because that's all they could afford. The rest was up to me.
Stupid? Nope. Just 17/18 and trying to figure out what to do with my life. I had no idea. I had around 60 schools sending me literature and I didn't know the difference between most of them. I was top 5 in my class of 343 and had a 32 on the ACT. I work in rocket engine development for a company you've all heard of. It worked out for me.
So, again, overblown.

Acceptance rate is very much a strategic choice for certain state schools. A&M's current acceptance rate is most definitely by design for better or for worse. John Sharp will tell you that Texas is growing and therefore A&M needs to accommodate more students period end of sentence.
I personally think for worse, and PUF and other endowment funds should be spent on building out regional campuses rather than trying to gate up or blow out flagship campuses.
A&M and Texas were essentially identical in most undergraduate rankings in the 90s, and then the schools went separate ways.
I remember this article from my graduation year. It is a shame all that momentum was knee capped.
Texas A&M is the best public school in the State of Texas
And I find all these indicators to be misleading anyway. Both flagship schools are massively oversubscribed for certain centers of excellence (business, engineering, etc) and then have less compelling alternative majors.
Both schools have very low bar backdoor CAP admission steps that make regular admission kind of a useless statistic.

UT did not establish the PUF, moron. Go do a bit of reading.
The State legislature set it up in 1876. UT-Austin wouldn't open its doors until 1883.
The state had set aside some West Texas land for the school that might get built at some point and then changed its mind and set it up as a sort of sovereign wealth fund with more flexible funding mandates.
The only reason the land got there was that the Union Pacific though the land too remote and useless for surveying. The state luckily backed into very valuable mineral rights on the land and here we are. That is not genius anymore than Jed Clampett was a shrewd operator.
And Texas A&M has a separate endowment with $2.3 Billion in Assets. That is an easy google search as well.

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.
I think A&M got just under 60k applications. Even with so many accepted, you're right, the pool is fairly decent. Compare it is Lsu & Auburn (2 right after A&M in acceptance rate)
SAT Scores & GPA
School - Avg / 25th Percetile / 75th Percentile / GPA
A&M - 1275 / 1180 / 1390 / 3.68
AUB - 1235 / 1160 / 1300 / 3.90

UGA
1990 - 9,561 applied, 78% acceptance, 1045 mean SAT. “American Negro”- 5%, “Asian American” - 1.2%
2000 - 12,869 applied, 62% acceptance, “African-American”- 5.8%, “Asian-American” - 2.8%
2010 - 17,730 applied, 58% acceptance, “Black/African-American”- 7.7% , “Asian”. - 8.3%
2020 -28,024 applied, 49% acceptance
2021 - 39,090 applied , 40% acceptance , “Black, African-American” - 8.4%, “Asian” - 11.1%
Proves that less white is all the media and academia care about. Our student body will look like Tech in a few years. Damn the Georgia Way and our traditions and culture since the school was founded in the 1700s.This post was edited on 7/6/23 at 10:40 am

Bet the numbers are over half less for all schools for white males.

The ignorance in this thread is truly amazing. Acceptance rate is just a percentage of those that apply to those that are admitted. Each school only has so many slots for incoming students. Most high school grads will apply to multiple universities knowing that they may not get accepted by all of them. Some get accepted by all that they apply to. Then they have a decision to make. Others may only get accepted at one school and only have one choice where they are going to go.
Trying to make an argument as to how good or bad a university is based on its acceptance is pretty f'ing stupid.
