As the mom of an OOS Bama student, many of the students I know that end up there are not kids who didn't get into UGA, but are high achieving students who don't want to go to UGA. The scholarships my daughter was given (based on GPA & test scores) made OOS comparable, and as she was raised by Alabama alums, we told her we would rather her be happy with her selection over the fours years, than to settle for UGA (which she visited, but never really liked). There was a recent article about the increase in OOS students (in Forbes, I think) which credited the football program for some of the uptick, but the campus is beautiful, and Dr. Witt certainly increased the focus on academics. The Law School was recently rated as one of the best in the nation and Alabama has many other outstanding programs as well.
