Imagine getting rejected by Kentucky.


In state you have to have a pulse

Out of state you need to have the money

If you are out of state and have no money I am guessing rejection is pretty high.

Tuition has skyrocketed here in GA if you don't qualify for the HOPE grant. It's almost twice as high at UGA vs UF.

$9780 for fall 2023 and spring 2024 undergrad.

Hope covers 100%.
I presume every in state has Hope when they come in.

Paying $12k for housing and food is what kills people.

But everyone needs a house and food.
Even if they don't go to college.

The University of Kentucky will take anyone who can spell their name or is reasonably close.

Wut? This isn't correct at all.

First off, you have to be in the top 10% and that has now moved to top 6% for acceptance

Why does it matter that a school has a wide open front door and a narrower exit?

If a school only takes high achievers and passes those high achievers how does one measure the quality of the education? Those kids would done the same almost anywhere.

Texas is NOT on par academically with USC, Duke, UCLA, etc
How do you know this? How do you know that similarly situated students will get a better education at those schools compared to UT at Austin?

I agree with the Ole Miss fan….we’re a long way from the intent of land grants and state universities.

Georgia Tech is a great school, it bothers me immensely that they barely take 50% kids from Georgia. Their job is to provide Education for Georgians and engineers for Georgia. Not an alternative to MIT and Cal Poly.

I always find this a little bit overblown. I went to a school with a ~80% acceptance rate. But I could've gotten into any school on the list. Maaaaybe not Vanderbilt, but I think I could've done it. I just went in state where I wanted to go and where I could realistically afford.


And in some states the number of decent schools to population ratio is skewed. In Tennessee 4 year public institutions are decentralized to serve various population centers. 12 different institutions are part of the university of Tennessee system divided between East, Middle, and West TN with dozens of smaller feeder schools in each region. And that served the roughly 7 million residents of Tennessee. 29 tech schools, and 13 community colleges give TN 53 state accredited institutions of higher learning in the system. And that doesn’t include private or religious institutions.

Many states are not set up that way. In Georgia it’s set up differently, they have a dedicated medical school(MCG), a dedicated engineering school (Ga Tech), a dedicated forestry school (ABAC)and a handful of liberal arts schools with UGA being the biggest. Where TN has 50 something institutions to serve 7million, GA has less than 30 to serve 11 million.
