It's not like KU has crazy high requirements. 21 on the ACT and a 2.0 makes you eligible, and the acceptance rate is 93%. KSU has the same requirements and accepts 99%.

Most schools in the region are the same in terms of student quality as it should be, since they're state schools providing a value option. Kansas, Missouri, Iowa State, Arkansas, Okie State all have a 75th percentile ACT score of 28. Vandy is at 34 for the gifted students.
