It’s true that Alabama admits a high number of kids with elite ACT scores. It’s also true that Alabama is throwing financial packages at those kids that dwarf the competition. Not a thing wrong with that, but it is the biggest factor in landing those students.

I don't care how Alabama is doing it. The important thing is that it has yielded results. Alabama made a huge mistake years ago in letting Auburn take on the rep of the engineering school. Alabama has the fourth oldest engineering program in the nation. Finally, it has stepped up and is on the way to fulfilling its potential. Its engineering facilities and students match those at almost any state flagship school.
Look, if Auburn had the same ability to fund this level of scholarships, it would. If Auburn had the same beautiful campus as Alabama has, it would also be able to attract elite students.

I pushed the boy to go to Bama, but all his buddies were going to Auburn (except for the kid that accepted an appointment fo the Naval Academy)
and I am poorer for it
UGA? Offered to waive out of state tuition, he probably would have gone to Athens with a stronger incentive, but he is happy where he is and that is what matters
