My daughter was admitted to UofSC, UTK and Auburn with nice merit at each. Auburn had been at the top of her list until this fall. The consumerism has definitely got her down. We will attend an admitted student’s day to see if the good vibes come back.
She declined UTK today. Great school but agree on other comments being posted here. The kids at her HS who are going to UTK are the party crowd. She did not get into honors and is concerned about being on party floors in the dorm.
UofSC is top of the three right now. Also likes Syracuse. But OUCH on the price there.
