[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you ask a very reasonable question. With the same uw GPA and 710 math as a STEM major, DD got 1/2 OOS tuition at a flagship public and 1/3 off at a STEM focused private. Those were 2 very good (money) results out of 10. We would never have been able to anticipate the end results, so I'd advise to apply widely. Just make sure DC has financial safeties from which to choose. A problem your DC will have is Theatre is such a competitive major, students are lucky to get into the major at all.[/quote]

Hmmm. Thank you. Good to know. DS is thinking of coming up with something different than a straight theater major to differentiate himself.  But it's good to know there may be some OOS options.  The problem for us is our budget is capped at $25K per year, so 1/3 off a private is not going to be enough. sigh. [/quote]

Out of state public universities give merit aid?[/quote]

Yes! My kid went to[b] Alabama f[/b]or free.[/quote]

So sorry...[/quote]

Rude. That is a better deal than paying $65,000 a year![/quote]

Haha. Well, now that he's in medical school guess who's laughing all the way to the bank?[/quote]

Alabama is too far for my kid, but if it were an option for him, he'd apply!! Free college is great! Wish we'd get that deal! [/quote]
