The Georgia score is entirely the result of the HOPE scholarship. Georgia has to continuously raise its academic standards as a way of weeding through otherwise qualified applicants and to prevent grade inflation at the HS level from being too much of a factor.

While very difficult to get in as a freshman, its much easier to get in as a sophomore after 1st year weeds out those who got in on basis of HS grade inflation.

Florida I think is much the same due to lottery funded scholarships. That one I am not 100 percent sure about but have been told this in past.

What does the Hope have to do with this thread. UGA has the second highest SAT scores of any school in the SEC. I know of several kids who couldn’t get into UGA, so they were forced to go to Auburn, Bama, etc. They didn’t have the standardized test scores to get into UGA, but those scores were fine at Alabama schools. It is what it is, no matter how you cut it. UGA is a much higher ranked academic institution than Auburn and Alabama by every measure, no matter what the reason.
