This list means nothing until you compare for example, STEM grads from each school with one another, for certain schools have higher percentages of non STEM grads than others, which pulls down their avg salary.

Exactly.

Not bad.

Unfortunately, it also still admits too many lower tier students.

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.

Sorry but this is meaningless without at least ranking from dumbest to smartest

Ole Miss 21-29
Miss State 22-29
Auburn 23-28
Arkansas 23-29
Kentucky 23-29
LSU 23-29
Mizzou 23-29
Alabama 23-31
USC 25-30
Tennessee 25-31
Texas A&M 25-31
Florida 27-32
UGA 27-32
Vanderbilt 33-35

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.

I would love if this was correlated with cost of living.

Majority of University of Kentucky majors and grads are in Education...which starting pay is not that high. Look at all the President’s and Chancellor’s of Universities and Colleges...they all graduated for UK.
