I said that Alabama is a backup school for kids that can't get into UGA. So yes, rejected UGA applicants from the State of Georgia find Alabama attractive. You can have the scraps from our high schools. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Oh, and here is some info on the latest freshman class. LINK
You don't have to prove to me that UGA is filled with smart kids, though it too has a significant percentage of non geniuses. You just refuse to accept the fact that UA is filled with smart kids as well. Sure UA gets some of the "scraps," but it also gets a lot of the top students as well, students looking for elite scholarships that benefit them more than the Hope Scholarship will.

I don't think Alabama is a good school. You are not going to change my opinion. Why does my opinion bother you so much? I'm sensing a lot of insecurity on your part.

You hit the nail on the head in regards to crackers from Ga. He dogs Auburn for being a Cow College, UGA is just a piss poor Cow College.

Unlike UGA grads, Auburn grads actually make it out of the town they went to college in. So, most don't even live in East Alabama as you phrase. I know that's hard to imagine for someone who's probably never been outside the state of Georgia.

UGA grads are the most prevalent alumni base in the Atlanta area. Furthermore, there are more UGA grads in other regions of the country (outside of the South)than Auburn grads. Auburn is a really bad school that everyone can get into. Nobody respects an Auburn degree. It's very...meh.

The idea that UGA is an elite school is a joke when you get outside the state of Georgia. I live in a major metropolitan city in the northeast. Educationally, UGA is viewed no differently than Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, etc. It's just another state school in the southeast. Sorry to disappoint you, but you should get out of Atlanta sometime.

That would infer UGA is not difficult to either get into or earn a degree from.
Sounds like a school who will admit anyone and hand out a degree if you have a pulse.

Then you don't read or keep up with the rankings. That's ignorance on your part. I know plenty of people in other parts of the country that recognize that UGA and Florida are good schools and are much different from Alabama, Auburn, and Tennessee. The Northeast is the most horrendous part of this country. I'm sorry you have to live there.

NYU, UCLA, Michigan, and Cal Berkeley all have huge alumni bases in major metropolitan areas all over the country. All are very prestigious schools. That's what happens when you have several generations of extremely talented graduates. In no way does it make those schools less prestigious. Furthermore, the presence of a high quantity of UGA graduates in Atlanta in no way makes UGA less prestigious.

Nah, it is just fun debunking people who badmouth Alabama, especially when they are arrogant GA folks who have a self esteem based on putting others down. I could care less what you think about Alabama, just don't expect to post nonsense statements that are easily disproved by facts, as I have done here.

Yeah, and I'm sure there's also a lot of Georgia Southern, Georgia State, and Kennesaw State grads in Atlanta. Your premise is that UGA is elite, which is wrong.
If UGA actually had such a great school, you guys wouldn't have to post an endless number of topics on it. There must be nothing better to do in a second rate city like Atlanta.

I never said that UGA is an elite school. Nobody is going to mistake UGA with Princeton. However, I have said many times that it is a good public university. Alabama and Auburn are simply bad schools. Unless you are a student athlete on the football team at either of those schools, you have absolutely nothing to be proud of. I'm proud that I went to UGA because it is not something that most people can do. Everyone can get into Alabama or Auburn.

US News is HQ'd in NY & DC. So your "joke outside GA" is a fallacy created in your skull.
Most periodicals have similar rankings, but here's US News':
14 - Vandy
35 - UF
46 - UGA
106 - USC
115 - AU/UT
129 - Bama
Don't kid yourself. The rest of the US doesn't hold AU and Bama in the same esteem that they hold UGA in. Lots of 4.0 kids don't get into UGA and have to settle for AU and Bama. I know many, many personally. The good news is that the elite kids from GA can go to AU and Bama and prove themselves and transfer to UGA. I also know many, many of these.

And yet the average Auburn grad makes more than the average Georgia grad. Who is really smarter? ??

No you don’t.
And frankly, anyone that doesn’t bother asking about what specific degree you are talking about and what opportunities it opens up for you and instead just offers up blanket statements really doesn’t have an opinion worth taking seriously on the value of education. Thankfully, we all know you are trolling and don’t have to take you seriously. On a psychological note though, I want to dig deeper to figure out why you enjoy doing this endlessly.

This boy is stuck on stupid. I have already shown him the stats. UA rejected 41% of applicants last Fall. And I know for a fact that despite Auburn's high acceptance rate, it sends applicants with very low ACT scores to AUM till they can prove themselves there. Yet he keeps insisting that "everyone" can gain admission there. I see facts don't matter to him.

Just ten years ago, UA was ranked in the 70s in USNWR rankings. It wasn't far behind UGA and was head of Auburn. Now, it is 129. Why? One main reason is that USNWR changed its ranking criteria to penalize schools like UA that offer very generous merit aid.
The irony is that UA dramatically improved the quality of its student body over that same period AND the percentage of out of state students exploded. Now 65% of the school is from out of state. That does not speak well to the claim by the UGA folks here that people in other parts of the nation have a low opinion of UA. I am sure that many do, but when they step foot on UA's campus, they are almost always sold. And UA has far more out of state students than UGA. And it has more top students from out of state than UGA. Go figure.

Yeah I do keep coming back, it’s a morbid fascination into the life of the one trick pony that rides that pony into the ground until it’s eight feet into the ground
I mean you do you, I’ll just comment that it’s strange
