Didn't realize it was that high... I know the requirements have been going up recently because we're trying to stay around 25,000 students, so this incoming class had the highest average ACT score ever. Makes me wonder what it was before they started upping requirements.
Auburn and Bama are both excellent universities, period.
As to the acceptance rate, schools that get a ton more apps (as the "state" schools always do) are always gonna have a lower acceptance rate. They can't possibly accept anywhere near 79% because they don't have the facilities to do it.
Also, even though AU's acceptance rate is "79%", enrollment isn't growing. Its remaining steady. Ergo, lots and lots more people apply to the "state" schools (i.e. Bama) than Auburn.
QED.
(Oh, and the "high" 79% acceptance rate doesn't seem to be affecting the average GPA and ACT/SAT scores of Auburn's entering freshmen, which continue to get HIGHER.)

I think I heard that this past freshman class was the largest, or one of, that Auburn has ever had.

Yeah, we've been holding steady at around 25k for the past couple years. I'm glad we're not going any higher, Auburn's growing too much as it is. Needz moar small college town imo.
