[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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…. [/quote] Most T30 private schools are $90K/yr. [/quote]

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.

[b]UVA makes zero sense for an OOS student especially for engineering.[/b] Its a backup.[/quote]

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.
