<p>I really like everything I've read about UT, even if the climate is kind of hot for my liking. However, the OOS rack rates are simply too high when I have far cheaper options available. I've read about the 40 Acres Scholarships and scholarships available through the Dean's Scholars program. I would like to get the total cost per year below $25k, but that's flexible. So... give me a sense of my odds:</p>
<p>State: Alaska
Gender: Male
Race: White
SAT (CR-M-W): 800-770-750 = 2320
NMF: Most likely
GPA: 3.97 UW, 4.19 W as of the end of junior year
Rank: Top 10 out of ~350
Rigor: 5 APs taken through junior year (one 5 from sophomore, waiting on junior scores), will take 5 more next year
Major: Computer science and/or math
ECs: Okay but not great - debate w/state awards, some regional/state math competitions, mock trial state-level awards, unremarkable player in band</p>
<p>Even if you don't want to chance, I'd be interested to hear about the stats of anyone who has received OOS scholarships at UT.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>slim. what is your major? i wouldnt be surprised if you got a tuition waiver…</p>
<p>^ Computer science or math. It’s in the OP but my formatting was vague.</p>
<p>I could probably live with in-state costs…</p>
<p>o i skipped right over it, they’ll probably give you the instate tuition waiver. Its very competitive when it comes to merit aid at UT</p>
<p>Cockrell gives the most out-of-state tuition waivers. The other schools rarely give them out.</p>
<p>if gets like a 1000 scholarship doesnt he get a waiver?</p>
<p>It has to be a competitive scholarship.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m bumping this thread with an additional question. I’m also open to an EE major. </p>
<p>Would the Cockrell scholarship package (or something comparable from CNS) be good for all four years? In-state tuition @ UT would compare very favorably to my other choices given the quality of the programs…</p>
<p>I think oyu have agreat chance to get accepted. If you do not get scholarships, it is not too hard to get instate tuition by becoming a texas resident. There are prior posts that spell it out. UT makes it available to oos students to become instate after a year.</p>
<p>Thanks for the opinion. I’ll consider that if I get accepted, depending on my other options.</p>
