You're right. It seems like on average, they're involved in two sports, something musical or artsy, hold a part-time job and do extensive volunteer work -- all while maintaining the perfect 4.0.

Same here, if it existed in 1995.

(I don't remember much about the SAT)

No offense to people who live in Alabama, but if I had grown up here and wasn't an AU fan, I wouldnt have gone to an in state school. Sad as it is, football and girls were what brought me to Auburn. Oh, and I don't regret it.

That makes absolutely no sense. If you weren't an Auburn fan, who would you be a fan of?

I believe girls and football are often what brings many guys to just about any Division I school.

I am pretty sure those averages far exceed the requirements for Bama. I know of a good amount of people that got in with not near those scores.

Just to be sure, I checked Princeton Review...Average gpa for a freshman entering AU is 3.52 with an 1127 SAT, Bama is 3.36 with an 1128. I know this isn't the original point, but I wanted to clarify to others...

I like this post. I have always thought that it really doesn't matter where you go for undergrad. I chose my school for atmosphere, a good greek system, beautiful women, and location. Grad schools are all about gpa and a test score...not where you went for your first few years of school.

Nobody is debating the merits of Virginia's educational system. I do think it is important to note, however, that there are other factors people use in deciding to come to a large public university. I think for Auburn and Alabama students, it is often family tradition (Ole Miss) as well. I'm from GA, and got into a few better schools than AU (UGA, UNC, Emory), but I wanted a traditional southern big school atmosphere, and I hate UGA. One thing I've noticed about Alabama (the state) is that wealthy, very intelligent students who could easily venture to other schools outside the state, will generally choose between UA or AU. I just thought that was interesting, and somewhat unique in this day and age.
