tuition hike?

<p>goldnjet2, I'm in the exact same boat as you. I applied to Texas mainly because it was cheap out of state. Now it is just as expensive out of state as any private school. I've never heard of a school increasing tuition THAT much.</p>

<p>goldnjet2, can you please post this link?</p>

<p>Cause I can't find it.....thanks.</p>

<p>Here is a link to the tuition increase announcement: <a href="http://www.utexas.edu/opa/news/2006/03/tuition29.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.utexas.edu/opa/news/2006/03/tuition29.html&lt;/a>. It appears that out-of-state tuition will increase to $26,000 per year ($13,000 per semester), but it also says that families making less than $80,000 per year will pay only a fraction of the increase. I'm not sure if that includes out-of-state students or only Texas residents, but it might apply to both.</p>

<p>you have to dig and look under the Austin site-</p>

<p>these are rates for incoming freshman -
here the the actual #'s for OOS business per semster/year
current $8680/17,360 2006-2007 $11,289/22,578 (30% increase) 2007-2008 - $14,250/$28,500 (26% increase from 2006-07, 65% increase from 2005-05)</p>

<p>but I thoght us citizens get to pay instate after one year</p>

<p>business school costs are going to double for in-state in 2 years? WHAT</p>

<p>Okay, thanks....</p>

<p>So for those OOS who are enrolling this fall, the cost is.</p>

<p>year 1- 18500
year 2- 22500 = 4000 increase
year 3- 28500 = 10000 increase
year 4- 28500 = 10000 increase
Total increase (assuming base = 18500/yr) is $24 000
(figures taken from dodgerblue's post)</p>

<p>Am I right?</p>

<p>We only know the first 2 years. The letter didn't specify 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. It also varies depending on major.</p>

<p>Ok, so for those of us (OOS and international) who are enrolling in McCombs this fall, will we pay 18500 or 22500 for our freshman year?</p>

<p>we will pay $22,500.</p>

<p>Wow, that blows...
Year1 - 22 500
Year2 - 28 500</p>

<p>Do you think they will will implement further increases for Years 3 & 4?</p>

<p>the way things are going now....im guessing there will be increases yearly...but not as much as the next two years....</p>

<p>does any one know if enrolling now is counted as enrolled befor summer even if one does not enroll for summer prgrm?Because then one pays last yr fee.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure tuition invoices will go out in July after you register for classes and tuition is due mid-August</p>
