Kraut Dog, best way for kids to get great scholarships at Bama or AU is to make a very high score on their ACT and/or be a National Merit Finalist or Semifinalist. Then it's a full ride at Bama (including housing) and full tuition plus department scholarship usually at AU. Tell your kids to study, study, study and keep their grades up and hopefully be one who tests well on standardized tests.

How do we not have an online mba. I still don’t get that. Schools are printing money offering that

This drives me insane too. I know far too many people that wanted to do Bama's MBA program but decided to do Auburn's because there's was fully online. I bet off the top of my head I can name at least 10 people that did this. I do think Bama has a much better reputation though when it comes to our MBA. The average GMAT score of our business school was something like 674 or 647 and Auburn's was in the mid 500 range. I was actually quite impressed

I’m going through the process now. Moved away from Tuscaloosa after completing my undergrad. I wanted to throw my dollars at UA but sadly there’s no online program. It’s crazy… even very competitive B schools offer online formats.

I ended up doing my MBA through Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech). UNA also has a very good MBA program

The one factor no one has mentioned is location, as to why many kids are going out of state
Where you attend college dramatically impacts your exit options in terms of state. I went to USC for grad school after UA because I couldn’t get a slot in the LA market at anywhere decent for my degree. I was getting a slew of Nashville opportunities but I dislike Nashville coming from a large metro as a kid.
I didn’t understand as a high schooler how your degree didn’t necessarily cross state borders, in terms of having weight

Well, I guess I shoud post an update. U of A has continued to push for my youngest to come to Tuscaloosa for a full tour. After spending several days in Gulf Shores, we made the trip north to Tuscaloosa for the visit she had told them she would take. They rolled out the red carpet. This tour was for only 5 out of state HS student candidates that are entering their senior year this fall. The tour was focused on the Honors College Program in addition to the standard full campus tour. When we arrived, my daughter did not want to like the time on campus. They did a fantastic job with her.
While Auburn is still her 1st choice, Alabama is now a "VERY close 2nd" and she said her choice will likely come down to which university offers her the best overall package.
It is a true shame the U of A did not make this same effort with my older two when they were in-state students. Otherwise, today would have locked her choice down as an out of state student.
