With a 79% acceptance rate, it is much easier to get into than 12 of the 16 SEC schools (including OU and Texas), which makes it much more appealing to mediocre students.
The 69% acceptance rate at Tennessee is a shining beacon of the academic elite.
The responses to this thread are a bit salty.

Tell me you've never stepped foot in NWA without telling me you've never stepped foot in NWA. You could stay there for a month, eat every meal at a local, high quality restaurant, and never eat at the same place twice. There's even a restaurant on North College in Fayetteville with authentic Louisiana cuisine that is better than anything you'll find in the French Quarter, Cher!
Why aren't you living there now? I see KC. Something is wrong here.

I agree. I have twins graduating next year one Interior Design and one pre-vet. As an Architect, have also worked with a lot of their grads - their college of Architecture is excellent IMHO. Daughter is in pre-vet so we’ll see on that side. Also feels much like A&M did when wife and I attended (‘94 and ‘93). A&M is huge now. I bet schools in surrounding states LOVE the 10% rule in Texas.

When my son graduated from college he and most of his friends all wanted to get jobs in the Atlanta area. 8 managed to get good jobs in Atlanta and 3 years later all 8 had left Georgia completely

I believe in the next 50 years, Arkansas will be the best option in the SEC. Here's why.
1. Northwest Arkansas is almost perfect.
Great weather, centrally located, great outdoors scene, high economic growth, low cost of living.
In the next 50 years, given plate tectonics, do you believe Fayetteville will slide to within an hour and a half or two hour drive of a nearest beach .... either on the gulf or one of our oceans?

When my daughter from Texas was looking at schools,LSU offered the same waiver of out of state tuition. This was back in the late 2000s. And yes she had a up at the almost top GPA. Hard to argue that Arkansas is not in anything other than a beautiful setting.

Well, it’s very hard for rednecks and hillbillies to adjust to a cosmopolitan city. I understand completely. They will be much more comfortable working at the local tractor repair shop or cleaning out cattle stalls in Nowhere, Arkansas than in Atlanta.

Atlanta is a shithole.

Good luck to your daughter! Mine just graduated HS this month and is going to Auburn. Came down to Alabama, Ole Miss and Auburn. Alabama was too big, Ole Miss too far and her closest friends are all going to Auburn. I really enjoyed the search. Alabama BY FAR put on the best tour and presentation. We got a personalized tour with our own Capstone Girl in a golf cart (still STUNNED at how big it is since I was there). Met with the Honors College admissions director. Met with a dean of something (maybe asst Dean of Students). Admissions officer. Tour of several buildings including the mock dorm at Tutweiller. I hope she enjoys this part of it and take the tours you can.

Yep, just like its hard to get crackheads, hookers and prostitutes like your mom, wife and sister to enjoy the rural splendor and modern infrastructure of NWA. They'd be much more comfortable working at a downtown ATL strip club or hanging under a overpass bridge turning tricks for crack.

I’m sure all 8 have better jobs than you could ever dream of having. Go back to your job at the local gas station as a gasoline transfer engineer. And no Atlanta isn’t a good place to live.

Think enrollment at Fayetteville is 25% Texan.
Based on the amount of Texas license plates I've been seeing, I wouldn't be surprised if it's higher than 25%.
And the Texas coeds have to be the worst drivers I've ever seen.

Same cost better value by far: ut A&M uf uga just off the top of my head (if you’re in state)

Texas looks at smart Arkansas students the same way the NFL looks at top shelf college players.
They'lll be seeing them soon.
but seriously, i do think UA has a good future, and i think its proximity to Texas plays into it.

Two words that do not go together... Arkansas and Best...
Posted on 6/2/24 at 7:27 am to anc
Arkansas is demographically challenged, and therefore will never succeed to those levels.
At just 3 million people, Arkansas is the 2nd smallest SEC state…. Only Mississippi is smaller.
Arkansas is also the 4th slowest growing. Only Missouri, Louisiana, and Mississippi are growing slower.
There’s a reason you have to go out and offer cheaper tuition to kids from other states… and that’s not a good thing.
