re: Why does University of Alabama have so many out of state students?

Either way, he claimed UGA is "much harder" to get into and I'm not seeing anything that supports that

I do not have any links, or stats to give you.
and not really sure acceptance rate factors.
If its simply percentage accepted by applied? then ok. there are more and more kids that know/ assume that they cannot get into UGA these days.

My statement earlier goes to real life examples.

I live in a NW metro area of Atlanta, that has really good public schools and private schools. and the trend out of there is simple.

students with less than a 3.9 and 1300 math/verbal do not even apply to UGA now.

the early acceptance for UGA , from what i've been told , from students put on the wait list, the cut line the last 2 years for Nov acceptance letters has been a min of 4.0, with some ap classes and 1390+ math/verbal.

most of the students in this area that do not get into UGA, tell me that they got early acceptance to AU, UA, or Ole Miss

That's just the trend here.
