Granny,

Alabama has not lowered their standards. But I would agree that it has not increased its standards enough. UA actually decreased its acceptance rate from 64 to 60 per cent of applicants while AU increased its acceptance rate from 69 to 71 per cent of applicants. However, because UA had such a huge jump in applications for last fall semester, this decrease in the acceptance rate was not enough to prevent slight slippage in the avg. ACT and SAT scores. This fall UA will reach its goal of 28,000 and will increase its standards accordingly.
