re: Academic Rankings 2018 - SEC

Also, UA attracts a larger number of top students (ACT of 33 or higher) than any other SEC School, save Texas A&M.

That's a rather subjective definition of "top students"...

UA's freshman class was larger overall 6600 or so to 5700ish... so using raw totals does make it possible to claim a perceived edge, but that's like comparing total yards instead of yards per carry... surely you find YPC to be a necessary statistic for context, no?

UGA's middle 50% of ACT scores in 2018 was 28-33 - so a higher bottom and top (marginally) end on the middle 50%. Our average was 30. UA's average was 27... putting 75% of UGA's incoming class above the average for admission into UA. Didn't see a raw median value anywhere to use as reference for either.

Nevermind that SAT is a more commonly taken Standardized test in the state of GA compared to ACT in Alabama.



UGA: SAT Middle 50% of Admitted First-Year Students: 1320-1490
UA:

SAT Math 586 average
520-640 range of middle 50%
SAT Critical Reading 591 average
530-640 range of middle 50%

That would amount to a middle 50% of 1050-1280...

Our average HS GPA of all incoming freshmen was 4.07 to UA's 3.72.

Larger number of top students ya say...
