Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4385317, member: 1414"] Florida and FSU are getting loads of applicants. I got into Florida State law school (the letter came fast) and it now sits at #47. Same as Maryland (where I also got in), which was much higher at the time. UConn waitlisted me and is #64. KU is #67 so it's all a wash really. Those flagship state schools across the south are recruiting northern kids at a higher rate, mostly using cost. Florida State out of state and UConn in-state are roughly the same. Add a little merit money and it's cheaper. Two of my daughter's classmates went to Auburn. Look [URL='https://www.auburn.edu/scholarship/undergraduate/competitive-merit.php']at the merit money[/URL]. Auburn out of state is about $28k and if you have a decent ACT score you get $15k a year in merit. So $13k. Clemson does something similar. I was astonished to see all the kids from a metro Boston Catholic HS headed to big southern state universities. I can only imagine public school kids see the value to an even greater extent. [/QUOTE]
