UA2009, There were fewer new students from out of state as well, so while I agree that UA needs to increase the number of in state students, it seems more a function of the overall shift in recruitment focus, from undergrad to grad students. Perhaps the drop in new students was larger than intended and UA has decided to finetune the recruitment with the added scholarship money for in state students. I just wish the admin would focus on making the scholarships more generous ONLY for students whose ACT/SAT is closer to the current ACT avg of 27. I don’t see the point in giving two people with a 21 and 24 ACT score and the same GPA, the same scholarship, and one that is not that much smaller than the one for those with an ACT of 25. There are plenty of state schools in Alabama for the lower scoring students. Why not let the Troys and Univ of North Alabama, South Alabama attract those students?
