Why do you think talented oos kids treat UVA as a backup? If you are going to pay private school tuition, go to a private school….

Most T30 private schools are $90K/yr.

LOOK IT UP on the Uva website, pull down under each school: the total cost of attendance for FIRST year engineering at UVA, OOS, isis 91-92k estim, 92-94k for years 2-4. UVA colleges of A&S is 81-82k first year OOS, 82-83 after that. We pay 84k all in for Engineering at an ivy in the T10. A&S students pay the same but typically do not have any book or computer fees so may be some less. No extra charge for years after first, no extra charge for taking an overload of classes.

UVA makes zero sense for an OOS student especially for engineering. Its a backup.

I won't go far as to say it makes zero sense. There are generational/legacy reasons for why a kid might choose UVA engineering...

But, for engineering, especially, engineering, why not go to VT? (VT is half the cost of UVA engineering, and VT Engineering has more prestige than UVA Engineering)
or Georgia Tech (GT out of state is only $4k more than UVA Engineering in-state);
Purdue (Purdue OoS is also less than UVA Engineering in-state)

Again, everyone has their reasons, perhaps the family/kid just loves UVA and that's the only school for them. But I don't understand why UVA Engineering is so expensive, when better engineering schools charge less.

Much smaller class sizes at UVA.

Setting is very different.

People don't have to go to the "best ranked" school per US News.

Fair. I was just wondering, as my DD at UVA, and very happy there, in The College. But now, DS is looking, and engineering is on the table...

+100% We are fortunate to have multiple great state schools in VA.

Best to all... and those videos are fun to watch...

but.... Where do we find the Instagram account with all the videos of the kids who didn't get in?

I want to see the videos of OOS parents crying when kids get in and see tuition alone is $81K a year.

+1. For. A. State. School.

Like. No. Other. State. School.
Good luck to all! Great school, worth every penny.

I believe UCLA, Michigan and UVA are worth it OOS.

We are oos and agree. Would add Berkeley and UNC to this list. We would have paid for any of these despite high cost.

Same. Worth it at their price points.

What I don't understand is the upcharge for UVA engineering. 10K, really? I mean why does it cost so much more than a CS degree in the college of arts and science?

Yep. Decided 20 years ago to stay in the state with this in mind. Grateful it worked out and the kid worked their tail off in high school.

I have a UVA student and I love the school but I don't think I'd pay that OOS price tag. There's nothing there that you can't get at another state school IMO and the ROI isn't worth another 50 grand in debt. There are so many schools out there.

High level stats for EA:

Looks like there was an edge for ED vs EA this year (In state 29% vs 25%, OOS 21% vs 13%)

[Anonymous]

Definitely an edge though not sure worth ED’ing in-state unless 100% “the one”.

Holy cow! Feeling nervous.
