so three in the top 30South has two in the top ten and then Rice if you count Texas.
So is the ROI.Call it what it is. Southern chicks are hot.
I shared this post with a friend of mine that grew up in the Bronx and he shouted out: ********!“Five people stopped me and told me how kind it was and what a sweet gesture I was making,” he said. “No way would that have happened in New York.”
At the University of South Carolina in Columbia, Alicia Caracciolo, a junior, said it takes her about two weeks to acclimate to the pace of the South every time she returns from her home in New York. At the grocery store she reminds herself to pause and slow down. “If you go and you don’t end up learning something about the cashier, you did it wrong,” she said.
Not so sure. Alabama had their first black student president a few years ago. He was from Virginia and got a full ride. He turned down the Ivies.I glanced through this thread, but only for bemusement purposes.
But, that said......if a kid can get into and afford Harvard, I think he (or she) is better off in the long run than attending University of Alabama, or South Carolina, or even Duke or Vanderbilt.

Not sure what you mean … the old 1600 scale isn’t that much different than the new 1600 scale (scores ticked down last year). Regardless, 1450 on the SAT isn’t likely to get you into Harvard. The average score at Harvard is 1520. The average SAT score at Davidson is a 1422. A ton of AP courses is the norm for even 2nd tier schools. Tufts is a 2nd tier option up this way and the average SAT score is 1465.I was using the old scale of 1600, probably should have said 1450, but most people wouldnt believe that. And throw in a bunch of AP+ course as well. Davidson turn downs use Harvard as their back up school.
I don’t know what that means.There’s a reason the biggest major at every SEC school is the MRS.
An acquaintance of mine attended Davidson on a football scholarship. He said (at that time) ALL students had their laundry cleaned for free and a beautiful golf course that was free to the students.In my kids’ school, no one talks about southern schools unless it’s Duke, Vanderbilt, or UNC (UVA too since it’s our public) unless for sports; they are way more excited about Davidson than big Southern publics.
I don’t know what that means.
That reminds me, for my first year in Stuart Hall, ‘74-‘75, we had a maid cleaning our rooms.An acquaintance of mine attended Davidson on a football scholarship. He said (at that time) ALL students had their laundry cleaned for free and a beautiful golf course that was free to the students.
He said that once his kids left the nest and he divorced his wife, he dreamed of going back to live as a perpetual student at Davidson.
