AU was a safety school back in LFF's day. Check out the stats from the O'Meara years. Seven out of 10 applicants got in. It made VCU look like Harvard. Key table in this PDF is on page 55 -- the profile of applicants for the freshman class. We can safely assume that transfers had an even easier time getting in. Also, look at the SAT scores (page 56) of incoming freshman. Even taking into account that SAT scores today are higher on average, the AU freshman scores for that time were shit.
Therefore, Mike, you can take that AU diploma and wipe your ass with it. Save yourself some money by not using the more valuable toilet paper.
