Princeton Review: Acceptance and graduation rates for SEC schools

1. Vanderbilt: There’s not a lot to be festive over with the Commodores football program, so students there have little alternative than to hit the books.

2. Florida: The Gators pride themselves in being able to do it all, as better than 65 percent of their students need just four years to graduate.

3. Georgia: Getting into the state’s flagship university is becoming more competitive each year as 56 percent of the school’s 20,877 applicants were accepted. Georgia graduated 61 percent of its students in four years and 82 percent in five years.

4. Texas A&M: It’s pretty easy to get into a school as huge as Texas A&M, as 71 percent of the school’s 32,190 applicants enrolled. The school graduates 50 percent of its students in four years, and 76 percent in five years.

5. South Carolina: The Gamecocks accepted 64 percent of the 23,035 students who applied for admission. The school graduated 54 percent of its student in four years and 70 percent in five years.

6. Missouri: The big state school accepted 78 percent of the 21,163 people who applied. Missouri graduated 46 percent of its students within four years and 66 percent within five years.

7. Auburn: The little school on The Plains is statistically the easiest SEC school to gain admittance, as 83 percent of last year’s applicants were offered admission. Forty-two percent of the student body graduated within four years, while 65 percent needed five years for a diploma.

8. Tennessee: They bleed orange and white in Knoxville and throughout the state. The school returns the love, accepting 75 percent of its applicants. Thirty-nine percent of UT students graduated in four years, while 65 percent managed the feat in five.

9. LSU: There’s a pretty good chance you got into LSU if you applied, as 77 percent of the school’s applicants were welcomed to Baton Rouge. Thirty-nine percent of the student body graduated in four years, while 62 percent took the five-year plan.

10. Alabama: Don’t underestimate the importance of the football team’s playing constant national exposure in recent years and how that increased the university’s visibility. Alabama accepted just 51 percent of the 33,736 applications it received in a decidedly more competitive field. Thirty-nine percent of its students needed just four years to graduate, while 61 percent did so in five years.

11. Arkansas: They’re in Hog Heaven at Arkansas, which accepted 62 percent of the 18,984 applications it received. Thirty-seven percent of the school’s students graduated in four years, while 58 percent did likewise in five years.

12. Ole Miss: Nothing speaks volumes more than the fact that Ole Miss was not only voted one of the Top 20 Party schools, but also a place where students study the least. But if you’ve been to The Grove once, you’d probably understand. The school accepted 81 percent of its 16,101 applicants probably because they lose so many each year to partying and other extracurriculars. Thirty-seven percent of Ole Miss Students graduate in four years, while 57 percent did so in five years.

13. Kentucky: Is it basketball season yet? Big Blue accepted 72 percent of the applications it received. Thirty-three percent of the school’s students graduated in four years, while 55 percent did so in five years.

14. Mississippi State: What does it say when the 10,766 applications Mississippi State received was by far the lowest number at any SEC school? Seventy-one percent of those were welcomed to Starkville. The school graduated 30.9 percent of its students in four years and 61 percent in five years, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.

What does it say when 82% of the applying freshman get accepted, yet they have a higher incoming scores than schools with an acceptance rate at 50% ?

Acceptance rate is the biggest joke

I went to Toomers the other day and got a BLT. It came with an associates.

Good point. Auburn's incoming students are a pretty solid crew year in and year out.

Auburn the easiest school to get into

Heard right here on the rant if you couldn't get into UGA you couldn't get into AU. 100% of the kids I know prove otherwise. But that fella was convinced. Pretty sure it was Phan

When the Socialist State pays for the tuition upon acceptance, more people will apply and more will be rejected. If those rejected want to be UGA students want to pay $40k a year to go to AU, instead of free ride at another instate university, I do not think they are smart enough to get into AU.

Big 6
