UT Austin is very hard to get for any desirable majors. There are other good universities in Texas though.. Texas A&M, UT Arlington, UT Dallas.

I think caliber of students at all Texas universities will continue to improve as tons of high income and educated folks moved during the last few years

Not Mass. The flagship favors OOS, so little to no merit. The others aren’t quite up to par.

Michigan has a lot more in state options than most think.

Illinois is another possible option.

We were actually investigating a couple of the lesser knowns in those 2 for a while.



UIUC of course, but UI-Chicago has improved a lot lately as well. Tuition at both is a little on the pricier side at $15k/year (not including room & board).

Don’t come to Colorado. They expect top students to get excited about a $2000 merit award at CU and CSU. Paying less at an out of state private with merit aid.

If you make under $200K (I think) Colorado College will match CU Boulder prices.

Florida or Georgia. Go somewhere that has free instates. I'm from Florida and Bright Futures covered nearly all of my tuition.

um, getting into UNC much easier in state than UVA in state Like 43.1 vs. 26.3


Not if you live in Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, Raleigh or Charlotte.

…where would you go?

Georgia is on my radar for both UGA and GT.

I live in MD now and I used to think we would move to VA when the time got closer but the admissions results I see around here don’t seem worth it.
