<p>@rhandco I’ve looked at merit scholarships and the only two schools I solidly feel like I have a shot at merit scholarships are USC and Purdue. And if I were to get the merit scholarships I’d probably pick either of those two over UT-Austin, but without them I wouldn’t.</p>
<p>@MrMom62 Those are both good points and I have to say both don’t apply. I go to a 6A high school, thus anything under about 5000-7500 students is too small in my opinion and my preferred school size would be 20000+(undergrad and grad combined). </p>
<p>Thanks to both of you! Definitely helped me feel better about choosing UT-Austin unless I get a merit scholarship elsewhere.</p>
