What are the best and worst ACADEMIC colleges in the SEC Conference?
I heard the best were Vanderbilt, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Alabama.
Auburn and South Carolina were okay.
Arkansas, Kentucky, LSU, Miss. State and Tennessee were the worst.
Is this accurate?
*I post this in the college football section because I thought I would get answers from knowledgeable alumni and students.
Thanks!

I would put Vandy far above the rest.

    Vandy (17 overall) is the best by far, and Florida is the only other top 50 college (47)
    Georgia is next at 58 then Auburn at 88. Bama is 96. South Carolina is 110.

    Evey other college is ranked in the third or fourth tier according to the report

    I would say it depends on what you are going to study. Auburn has an excellent Business and Vet program. Georgia is a decent school and Vanderbilt is tops.

    Anyone can get into Alabama. The same goes for Ole Miss.

    I’ll do this in tiers, because at points it’s hard to differentiate
    1. Vanderbilt (by far)-Highly selective(20% get in and has excellent applicants)
    2. Florida and Georgia- Still tough to get into, you have to be a good student to go to these schools
    3. Auburn, South Carolina,Tennessee (not that hard to get into, but harder than the ones below)
    4. Alabama, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi State, LSU (hard not to get into)

    I know you asked for academic rankings and I did it by difficulty of getting in and the two don’t always go hand in hand but I think with the SEC schools it works both ways. If you live in the South, you know which of these schools are harder to get into than others and people are more impressed with Auburn than Alabama because they know Alabama accepts anyone.
