The real answer as to which school is better is: the school that is right for you individually. Both schools provide good education and are very close in the areas being discussed.

Thank God someone gets it. The dude doesn't understand statistics at all. Its hard though, especially for someone who didn't actually go to college.

You act like this has been some new thing when it comes to your migration statement.
Politics play a substantial part but not every GD thing is black and white or "red state/blue state".
The reverse migration is a relatively new thing. And the reason is a red state/blue state thing. The blue state policies and beliefs have changed the climate in those states and many of the law-abiding citizens want to get the hell out of there. Many want to go back to an area where family still live. The problem is when they move, they sometimes bring some of the woke relatives with them. Atlanta has become the worst example of the South changing due to this migration. They are bonding with that element that has been there a while and now the blue state mentality has handcuffed the police to the point it has become unlivable there.
Atlanta is located in a very nice part of the State. It is a hub for the South thanks to Hartsfield, but people just want to transition through there enroute to a more desirable location and prefer to lock their car doors and drive like hell. The mentality of those who post on here defending Atlanta is why it will crash and burn before it gets corrected. Just watch what happens in November and see how much darker blue GA becomes.

What is this, 5 posts later and you still don't understand how a median works?
Go read that guys post who explains it, maybe thats simple enough for a sidewalk fan

It's going to be exactly the same as the last 2 years. Kemp will be Governor and Ossoff and Rev. Warnock will be in the Senate.

That isn’t necessarily true. A median is the middle number when you arrange a column smallest to largest. So if you had five freshman whose ACT scores were 31, 31, 33, 25, 18 then the median would be 31.
If the number of AP classes taken were 0, 2, 14, 14, and 7 the the median number of AP classes would be 7.
That doesn’t mean that the median student has a 31 and took 7 AP classes. The two things are graphed independently.
Common sense would suggest that the acceptee with a low ACT would have to do other things to boost his application like have a high GPA and take advanced courses. While the hypothetical applicant with a 33 who applies himself and does the extracurriculars in high school will go somewhere better than UGA.
Point taken. But you are wrong.
If I have a 31 ACT, half of the freshmen class is better.
If I have a 1340 SAT, half of the class is better.
If I have 7 AP/IB/DE classes, half of the class is better.
You are correct that the median student with a 31 ACT does not necessarily mean that he/she is the median for SAT (could be higher. Could be lower).
But you are incorrect that if my daughter has a 31, 1340, and 7 rigor classes, then half of the freshmen class is better in every one of those categories than she is.

Agreed.
But the state of Georgia basically splits into 2 groups. Engineering and everything else.
For undergrad, it is GIT for engineering and UGA for everything else as the primary option for the vast majority of students.
Some kids will take their 529s to Emory. Some kids will go ivy. My son wants a degree from Middle Tennessee State. But first 2 years would be in state. So it was a choice of UGA or KSU. He was lazy and only applied to KSU, Georgia State, and UNG (no essay on the application). He is below the median in every UGA freshman category, but we are a small, poor county and he would potentially fit the "under" category for admissions.

I agree. But UGA is pulling a higher caliber student and faculty. Engineering is a great degree at Auburn. Much better than at Georgia. But not better than GIT. The OPs Atlanta argument holds true even for engineers.

Maybe, but if that happens, then the Woke Blue will be pushing their agenda harder for fear their power is temporary. They know they have 4 years to push policies to attract the blue voter. Wait until Atlanta becomes an official sanctuary city and their attempt to draw the illegal Hispanic vote. With that there will be an increase in drugs and violence and homeless. Then you will see a spill over into other areas of the state. Finally, the surrounding states will step up against GA and the state will spiral even further. It is a model you see from other states, just not in the South.

I sure hope so. We are seriously hurting for labor here.

Why? None of the Latinos I work with are violent or druggies. They all work their asses off to do the jobs the lazy-arse, pill addicted locals won't do.

Because there are individuals do have a dotted line connection to the cartels. And the cartels will want to blend into that society to run their operations. Not an attack of the law-abiding hard-working Latinos, but that is the model of how the cartels gets more imbedded into a city. Throw into the equation of a Police Force with their hands tied. Look out.

Wait...an Alabama fan claiming that Georiga's academic standards are lacking???? While using the plural "schools" rather than the possessive "school's"? The irony here is priceless.
I don't think you know what "sidewalk fan" means. I've been rooting for Georgia since my freshman year in the fall of 1977. I've stuck with them through the Dooley, Goff, Donnan, Richt, and now Kirby years. If I'm a sidewalk fan, that's one long impressive sidewalk.

It is growing because of the reverse migration of the North. Texas is growing because of the flow from California and FL from NY. GA is the only Blue State in the South and that is the results of the shithole we know as Atlanta. Liberal politics leads to a fricked up society. Atlanta is leading in that category.
Atlanta is growing because of the location, climate, livability, and opportunities. Your problem is clearly that you don't like Atlanta's politics. Get over it. I've got bad news for you, but if you attach your happiness to how many people agree with your politically, you're going to die a bitter man.

Yeah he can't get past that.
Poster after poster who lives in Atlanta is telling him he's wrong and we've had good experiences here, but he will only believe what he sees on the news.

Originally, hub for rail. Atlanta's original name was "Terminus" because that's where all the major rails conjoined.
Then, a hub for freight on Interstate HWYs for the same reason- I85, I75, I20, all crossing at the exact same spot.
Then, a hub for flight.
Still a major hub for all three today. It's not just about the airport. Believe it or not, Memphis is still the global leader in flights in and out (freight); Hartsfield wins number 1 in passenger flights (but still a shite load of freight... had a flight canceled from Toronto to ATL a few years ago at the gate because the freight weighed too much for passengers to safely be carried).

You are probably right. Defending a sinking ship by saying the leak isn't that bad, Detroit and Baltimore are sinking faster, is the wrong approach. Too many ATL apologists. ATL is only a decade or two behind Baltimore. The good news is ATL is still a nice enough place to save. But not if the same assholes keep getting elected to run the place.

This is where you are wrong. Yes, Ossoff will still be there because he's not up for re-election. Warnock should be beating Herschel by double digits in the polls, but it's very close, in some polls Warnock is actually losing. Kemp has double digit leads in polling over Abrams.

Politics is just a symptom of the disease. The mentality of the population is the problem of Atlanta. It used to a minority of the population, now it has shifted as the majority. They are pushing out those individuals who used to believe in America, now those in charge believe in "what can you do for me". Sad group, but it is the direction we are going, GA is where that mentality is getting a footing.

Negative, see below.

They weren't smart enough to get into UGA or Georgia Tech
Kids who are “smart enough” to get into UGA might choose AU in spite of how much more it would cost financially. Georgia Tech isn’t a remotely comparable institution to UGA. OP was trying to offend AU fans and it flopped once people presented facts into the thread.
The reality is - for kids in GA there’s one “normal SEC school”, UGA - serving a large state population. In Alabama there are two schools, with a lower state pop. Therefore more kids are competing for in state tuition. Surprising how close the incoming test scores are given that large discrepancy. Nice that more kids in Alabama can get a great education and take advantage of in state tuition.

I'm just curious. How is a 60-year-old (63 to be exact) supposed to post? I'm admittedly not your average 63-year-old...perhaps even a tad strange. The Knowshon5dolla was once an inside joke between me and my youngest. If I confess that I once wore leisure suits, would that help?
