[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping up this old thread to ask — is Texas A&M worth out of state tuition? My kid really wants to go there but will be $1k short of the scholarship level necessary for in-state tuition, and he has two options that are about half the price with scholarships but not as highly ranked for engineering (Nebraska and Missouri).

Wish he’d gotten into our state school (though it would have been more expensive than his cheaper options). [/quote]

To be 1k short of the 4k scholarship money needed to waive the non-resident portion of tuition (a huge waiver) often means a student is NMSF (which gets 3k) but did not advance to NMF (which gets 10.5k and hence qualify for the waiver). Does this describe your son? If I'm not mistaken, an NMF gets to attend with a COA of only around 23k which is a great price. An NMSF doesnt get to enjoy that, unfortunately.

Also, an NMSF and NMF who wants to study engineering is accepted to their major of choice, bypassing the need to go through the entry-to-a-major (ETAM) process, which is attractive to those who don't want to worry about not getting their desired majors.[/quote]
