Alabama 23-31
Arkansas 23-29
Auburn 23-28
Florida 27-32
UGA 27-32
Kentucky 23-29
LSU 23-29
Mizzou 23-29
Ole Miss 21-29
Miss State 22-29
USC 25-30
Tennessee 25-31
Texas A&M 25-31
Vanderbilt 33-35
Does someone have a link showing the size in order, of each school's freshman class in 2018?
There are several ways one can rank these percentiles. One could look at the highest 75th percentile, or the highest 25th percentile.
I started this thread, because I am tired of hearing folks say that Alabama is not a magnet for top students. It most definitely is. Unfortunately, it also still admits too many lower tier students. Still, with its huge freshman classes (2nd or 3rd biggest in SEC depending on the year), it enrolls more top students (ACT of 32 or higher) than any other SEC school, save for A&M and UF.
Source: LINK I include the link to the South Carolina College Board profile to show how I found the data. First, enter the name of the school in the search function. Then click on "Applying" on the left margin. Then click on SAT/ACT. Then click on ACT and see the percentiles. Maybe someone else can create a list of the SAT percentiles. ACT and SAT correlate very well with one another by the way.

Not that it matters but I was just reading different numbers than what you posted for Auburn just two weeks ago, as I was writing a letter of recommendation for my former commanders kid.
Auburn 75th Percentile ACT Composite was 30.

It's the state university of the state of Alabama.
I have zero problem with it admitting in-state kids who might not have top tier test scores. That's it's job. Bringing in high quality kids from in and out of state is great, and I'm glad they have been able to do that. But there aren't enough high scoring kids in the state to cut off kids below 25/26 on the ACT and still have an in-state presence. You can do that in Georgia/Florida/Texas/Virginia - you can't do that in Alabama.

Honestly, who gives a shite.
Schools are to educate and make the society better. Is college for everyone? NO, but the high schoolers in the state of Kentucky have an opportunity to it’s flagship school in the state.
