It’s still much better than uat’s acceptance rate (39% vs 85%)… btw UAT ranks even lower than UAB in the USNWR and WSJ rankings. UAT is the new Birmingham-Southern now…
UAT and Auburn have both historically averaged ~80% acceptance rate. This new 44% number that continues to be quoted was for the early enrollment period, which admits only the highest ranked applicants.
It was a clever way for the Auburn admin to convince people Auburn is difficult to get into.
It’s not. At least not any more difficult than most of the rest of the SEC, outside of Mississippi.

This has been explained to them many times and they're never going to acknowledge it. It's a waste of keystrokes at this point, but I admire your perseverance.

Do you have a source for this claim?
Everything I have read from third party sources state a 44% acceptance rate, I have even read a 39% acceptance rate for 2024. I haven't read anything or seen any third-party publication state that Auburn has an 80% plus acceptance rate
Plus I can tell you from personal experience that Auburn is not as easy to get into as it once was

This is not true - you just stopped following the latest updates because it was more convenient that way.
Here are the official numbers (TOTAL acceptance vs applications). You can re-calculate it yourself.
2022 - 43% accepted based on 46k total applications.
2023 - 50% (updated) based on 48k total applications
2024 - 39% (early enrollment) per recent press release

These are the facts. You only present opinions.
