[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The financial aid is reserved for in-state students. If you want to go to GT from out of state, then pay up. I love how everyone thinks their kid is so deserving of merit aid. High scoring kids are far more plentiful then there are spots. Lots of full pay to snap up that slot if you pass. GT is a great great school. Still stings that my kid passed on this, but she made the right choice for her and it’s paying off in happiness and opportunities. Here’s an idea, if you want to save money go in state. If you really only care about money then do two years of CC first. [/quote]

MIT, CMU, Wash U, etc.. all had better financial aid.  And of course the obvious elite schools too like Cornell, Princeton, etc..[/b]

Other publics have great merit aid packages, but poor financial aid options.

GT has nothing.  Great for in-state no doubt, but only a fool would pay the cost of OOS tuition there.  I remember after sitting down with all the packages, it was the second highest cost of all 12 schools my child applied to (second to Michigan) and she applied to some very expensive privates and OOS public schools.

Have you been there OP?  You might change your mind.  Most kids do not like it at all once they visit.  Sketchy area, pretty run down looking, issues with parking, overpriced and dangerous apartments off campus.  The education and professors must be great though because it continues to be top ranked.

Well DUH. These are all private schools. [/quote]
