re: Student Acceptance Rate (SEC schools)

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.
