Funny thing, I found the spot where you got your info.Enrollment is up. And the out-of-state student enrollment is up. That means more tuition money.
Then we must have some amazingly intelligent athletes. from: The University of Alabama
"At 38,103 students, UA’s enrollment surpassed 38,000 for the third consecutive year, boosted by a 10% in-state increase. In addition, 40% graduated in the top 10% of their high school graduating class (a UA record); 38% have a high school grade-point average of 4.0 or higher, with the average grade-point average being 3.77 (both are UA records); and approximately 40% have an ACT score of 30 or more for the third consecutive year.
The 2019 freshman class includes 256 National Merit Scholars, the largest in UA history. Last year, UA ranked second nationally among public universities with 187 among the freshman class. Currently, UA has more than 700 National Merit Scholars enrolled."
The average ACT score at Alabama is a 27 which also happens to be the minimum score for admission to Auburn. That means about half the students at Alabama could not get into Auburn. I rest my case.
Then I found this: "The average ACT score at Auburn is 27. This score makes Auburn Moderately Competitive for ACT scores.".
These links gave good info:
University of Alabama Admission Requirements
This Year's Auburn Admission Requirements
According to those links, auburn has an acceptance rate of 83.9%. Whereas Alabama has an acceptance rate of 53.3%.
The average GPA for current auburn students is 3.83. For current Alabama students it is 3.66.
The minimum SAT score for Alabama is 1177. For auburn it is 1225. Both of those scores put the schools in the "Competitive" bracket.
The average ACT score for both schools is 27. So either auburn has lot of students with minimum scores, or you were wrong about the minimum entry score to auburn. In fact, according to the linked site, auburn does not have a hard cutoff for the ACT. Low scores will get your application tossed, for sure. But general admission to the university is not a minimum score of 27.
But considering that 83.9% of applicants to auburn are excepted, whereas 53.3% of applicants to Alabama are excepted, you might want to recheck yours sources.
But since this entire thread is about Alabama and LSU, and the people of Alabama who will be angry about things going on in Tuscaloosa, your mistaken claims about ACT scores for auburn are simply irrelevant.
With the exception of your error for the average ACT at Auburn, I think you for proving my point. Comparatively, Alabama is generally inferior academically to Auburn.
Have a nice day!
Do you have a link for that? Or do we just accept your word and ignore the link I posted?
Whatever differences there are in admissions requirements are minimal. And the facts I posted earlier still stand. You have not disproved any of them.
Have a nice day.
Deflection is such a sad tactic!
I agree. Which is why it is so sad that you responded to my original post about Alabama academics with the info you did and then claimed you proved me wrong. You proved nothing of the kind.
But in a thread about college football, I can see why you resorted to the tactics you did.
