<p>Sorry, I was considering Tuition and Fees… If you want to keep it separate, yes almost full tuition. $8258 for Zell / GA tech tuition alone is $8670.</p>

<p>OP: did you apply to Emory?
If you don’t like your current choices, there are still a few good schools that accept applications (on a case-by-case basis or plainly): Hendrix, Albion, Hiram, New College…</p>
<p>If a student is interested in an ABET accredited engineering program in Georgia. They have two options. Georgia Tech and, as of 2012, some Engineering at the University of Georgia. If you wanted Chemical Engineering, you just have Georgia Tech. So I understand that many Georgia students have to leave the state, and thus pay for OOS costs, if you want to go into a certain major.</p>
<p>Looking at California schools, there are many more state schools that offer ABET accredited engineering degrees, and better job prospects, then the Georgia schools offer its residents. </p>
<p>I have no idea if the original poster is even interested in engineering.</p>
<p>Zell Miller is exactly full tuition, not almost full tuition. It’s not clear why you talk about Georgia Tech and link to UGA (they are different schools), but this year’s Zell Miller for UGA was $4014/semester and tuition was $4014/semester.</p>
<p>It’s true fees are not included, but all that means is that a student from Georgia capable of being admitted to UCLA or Berkeley would pay about $2000 a year in fees to attend Georgia Tech or UGA, versus more than $35,000 in tuition and fees at the UC schools.</p>
<p>Sorry again… your link was to 2013-2014 Zell sheet and to the 2014-2015 Ga Tech tuition sheet… so the number did not add up. my fault. The UGA link combined the tuition and fees, which why my comment was 65% and 80%.</p>
<p>First of all, I apologize if I sounded obnoxious or arrogant. I applied to the UCs so that I wouldn’t regret it later, even though I knew that it would be expensive. In hindsight, I suppose I was more optimistic than anything, since I supposed I would receive scholarships, aid and maybe have to take out very little in loans.</p>
<p>I applied to Emory and Oxford, but have been wait-listed at both colleges. I accepted my position on both wait-lists and probably will only know of those results in May. I have only been accepted to 3 colleges: UCB, UCLA and my state safety school. </p>
<p>By all the responses, it seems like going to both UCLA & UC Berkeley would be self-destruction because of its costs.So looks it like will be my state safety school after all - not a bad school at all, as many of you have said.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice everyone! </p>
<p>As others have said, the UCs do have provisions for in staters, in addition to a lower base price for their own state residents. Just as your state has goodies reserved for those who are taxpayers in GA. Most of the students who go to the UCs are in staters. There is not much attempt made to meet the gaps of OOSers at all. You have no access to the state aid for instaters that you have with the GA programs. So it can be similar to applying to a private school, though not quite as expensive as some, but with few OOS publics (like one or two) guaranteeing to meet need. If one can afford the costs, it doesn’t matter. It’s great you gave it a go, just in case some scholarship making it possible might have come up, but it did not. It’s quite a feat to be accepted as an OOSer to those UCs, so congratulation in that. Sorry, they did not come up with the money to make it possible for you to go there.</p>

<a href=“http://main.abet.org/aps/Accreditedprogramsearch.aspx”>http://main.abet.org/aps/Accreditedprogramsearch.aspx</a> Southern Poly has many different ABET accredited programs. There are other schools listed beyond those three but most of those are for Engineering Technology or Comp Sci.</p>
<p>Well, if you want Electrical, Mechanical, Civil or Chemical ABET accredited you have only one choice - Georgia Tech.</p>
<p>Yes, pity the poor Georgia residents, with only the #5 engineering school in the country available to them! #3 in mechanical engineering, #3 in civil engineering, #5 in electrical engineering, and #6 in chemical engineering. And most students have to suffer through reduced or free tuition, too!</p>
<p>Did you get into Honors at your safety?</p>
<p>There are a LOT of excellent schools outside of the top 20. This student missed the opportunity for some great merit aid offers, and yes, at ABET accredited schools. </p>
<p>If the instate safety is GT, then I’m not sure I see a problem…at all.</p>
<p>Agree with 3bm103. Consider the UCs for grad school. </p>
