By the way these admission statistics come from http://collegeapps.about.com/od/collegeprofiles/p/U-Miami.htm (University of Miami--I did the same search for each university listed.
I find these statistics interesting. I am particularly surprised by the University of Florida data. I had thought that I would not be able to get into Florida any more with my SAT but it looks like I still could have. I thought Florida's would have been more like Georgia Tech's. Is the reason that Florida's is so low because of affirmative action?

I came up with an interesting theory on why Georgia may be ranked so low and I want your opinion of my analysis. First the facts... * The State of Florida is ranked 10th nationally in education depending upon the source. * The State of Georgia ranks anywhere from 41st to 47th nationally depending upon those same sources. * The overwhelming majority of "Georgians" are fans of UGA. * The admissions standards at GaTech (and probably UF too) are drastically more difficult than that of UGA. * Atlanta is home to the largest UF Alumni association outside the state of Florida. * One of the prominent law firms in Atlanta (and the nation) is led by... a Gator. And that is just in one of the many law firms in which a Gator practices. * The leading sports talk radio show is owned by... a bunch of Gators. * Two of the main Meteorologists on local network TV... Gators. * Several leading Doctors at the major hospitals in Metro Atlanta (and I am sure throughout the State)... yup. Gators. * Erin Andrews... resident of Atlanta. * Chipper Jones... plays (well did till recently) for the Atlanta Braves * Mike Mullarchy... former Gator.. current Offensive Coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons. * Al Horford is drafted by the Atlanta Hawks... and suddenly they are making the playoffs. My analysis and conclusion: UGA is the reason Georgia is nearly a bottom feeder year after year in terms of their ranking nationally in education.... and its really the GaTech and UF alumni that is keeping Georgia from hitting the basement altogether. It is then reasonable to believe, as if we needed to prove this, that all UGA fans lack critical thinking and reasoning skills or any common sense whatsoever. I mean.. they did choose to be UGA fans after all.
