<p>I am applying oos and have pretty good stats. So far i have been accepted to ASU, Uof AZ, and Madison WI. ASU and UofAZ have given me $30k+ which makes it very affordable for an oos student. If i do get accepted to UT, is there anychance of getting reduced tuition in the form of scholarships? And does UT automatically consider you for merit scholarships?</p>
<p>Unless you are a Valedictorian, or near, it is very difficult to get merit scholarships from UT. Their scholarships are 90%+ need-base, and I don't know anyone who has been offered any money as of yet.</p>
<p>Unless you in deep deep financial need, this will most likely not happen.</p>
<p>UT doesn't need to offer scholarships, because of the sheer numbers of those apply, if you chose not to go there, they could care less.</p>
<p>Well im ranked 4th so ill cross my fingers really hard.</p>
<p>Mind posting your "stats?, I think that will give a better indication of your chances.</p>
<p>3.9 unweighted GPA
31 ACT
rank 4/300</p>
<p>Ehh, you probably have no chance at getting a academic scholarship, sorry. Your standardized test scores are probably way too low, unless you have some ridiculous amount of service hours or something, there is just no way. I know people that were ranked number 1(well 4.5 but we had like 30 of those last year) with 1450+ SAT and they didn't get a dime. They were able to get some scholarships from other sources, but didn't get anything from UT directly.</p>
<p>I have a 32 ACT and got full scholarship from UT Dallas, but I know I won't get anything.</p>
<p>Too bad. Looks like ill be attending AZ.</p>
<p>I wouldn't give up hope Mustang. I didn't even fill out a scholarship form, am from out of state, had similiar stats to you (worse rank, but great ECs) and received an out of state waiver ($15,000+ value each year). People told me I had no chance of even being admitted, and not only was I admitted, but with a scholarship and to the business school.</p>
<p>there is hope yet!!</p>
<p>how did you get the out of state tuition waiver?! was it like a departmental thing or part of your financial aid package or what?</p>
<p>Don't you get an out of state waiver if you're a National Merit Finalist?</p>
<p>Two years ago they offered my son 5000 per year with SAT 1540(CR+MA).
He did not apply any aid because he got in ED with other school.</p>
<p>Was that the only reason he got one? I have a 1530 and am praying for scholarships.</p>
<p>Did you fill out the Financial Aid application that was due on December 1? In that application, it basically used one form to apply for aid and a bunch of different merit scholarships.</p>
<p>I'm not exactly sure how I got my waiver. I am not National Merit Finalist and received the waiver in June, after I said I was attending in April - quite odd, but I'm not complaining. From what I've heard some other out of state students have had this happen too even if they didn't fill out a scholarship app. I think Texas might go back and give waivers to strong candidates. A 1540 SAT would most definitely qualify (mine was 1420).</p>
<p>THe engineering website says that out-of-state students with SAT's over 1500 MAY be offered an out-of-state tuition waiver. :)</p>
