[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.
Thank you for all of your responses.
The whole applying for colleges is a new process for us.
So did not think much about OOS tuition, affordability at that time of applying.

kind of disappointed that UIUC, Purdue, Georgia tech, UMD did not give any scholarships in spite of high stats, dual enrollment and leadership roles.

I will post back on this thread after a few days after other colleges announce any scholarships. 
That will give some idea how much each college actually costs.

None of them give merit really.  You should have looked into that before applying.  Purdue gives $8K max and it is never to the most applied schools. GT has to give so much to their state, they make that school run on OOS tuition alone.  UIUC has financial issues and I have yet to see anyone get a dime from that school OOS.  UMD is hit or miss.  They can sometimes give a huge scholarship and other times nothing. But again, state schools depend on OOS tuition.  Michigan is pretty good with financial aid, but not great with merit aid.  So unfortunately this doesn't help you.

Out of all of those Purdue and UMD are the most cost effective.  Living at Purdue is probably much cheaper but when adding in travel (even if you drive) they probably even out.  [/quote]
