re: Leaving out Vanderbilt...if your child received a scholarship to every SEC school...

Too much risk. There are plenty of other options for good programs without subjecting them to A&M

I know several friends from the Nola area who are sending their kids to Bama. They are not athletes, so those damn gumps are doing something right.

over 70% of bama students are out of state. Graduate in the top half of your class at a catholic league school and bama will throw money at you

I used to think the same about those types of schools until I went to visit Stanford. And later was there for a graduation. I don’t know where you stand politically, but the idea of paying for your children to be radicalized is real.

An argument could be made about the parents being weak, but in my experience that wasn’t the case at all.

I applied to LSU and UGA, hoping for a full scholarship. LSU required no letters of rec, interview, or anything other than a regular application. They basically awarded it based on a formula of GPA and ACT. UGA wanted so much crap, I gave up half way through. They wanted 2 peer recommendations. Why the hell would they want a high school kid’s opinion?

I think they now have a more stringent application process at LSU than in 2008. I’m thankful they didn’t because I would have bombed an interview back then.

Well not counting Georgia for obvious reasons and Vandy I'd say A&M or Florida if we're strictly talking academics. Football wise? Bama or LSU

I was accepted into both and my dumbass chose LSU because I wanted to major in PETE.

Things have turned out well enough but I had no idea what I was doing as a HS senior
