Wow ~ I've never responded on here but as a mom whose daughter WAS accepted at Texas but chose Alabama I had to respond to Pvgord's somewhat snarky comments. I still remember my daughter coming home from Texas and saying she liked it but she LOVED Alabama and it had been 6 months since her last visit. It was Ok with us since they paid 100 percent of her school! She was from a high profile, academic school listed above! My daughter and our family had a lot of connections at UT through school and business and DD attended one of the high profile camps. I had no concerns about a Texas rush for her rather than the usual concerns. She DID NOT attend Bama because she had no other option nor do most of the Texas kids we know there. Most do not want to go to school with the same kids they have been with since pre-school. My daughter had a fabulous Rush at Alabama and was not dropped from even one sorority. The football has been a lot better at Alabama, too! And we ARE Texas fans but we love cheering for a winner!
