Chef- you need to trust me. If you love U T I can guarantee you that you can find another college to love which is affordable. If you post your stats and a list of what you love about UT, and give us a sense of your families budget (how much can your parents pay every year, do you have a college savings account?) we can help you come up with some alternatives. But being instate at UT doesn’t seem like a plan for now unless in fact your parents are in the military or recently retired.
