Stony Brook has given me full tuition ride and Bing partial- The pocket cost would be 10-20K at these 2 NY state schools. UT Austin, I need to pay OOS close to 50K. RPI/NorthEastern gave around 18K with pocket cost about 40-50K. NYU gave about 30K with pocket around 35K. Btw Clarkson gave about 35K schol and pocket cost about 25K. UIUC/Mich also OOS with 50K+
Should I choose UT Austin Comp. Engg. with 50K cost or go to SB/Bing with 10-20K or NYU with 30K. UT Austin/UIUC are ranked top 10, NYU/RPI/NE ranked 20-70 and SB/Bing 70+ in CE or ECE or CS. Clarkson with 20K net pocket is 100+. I have visited RPI, UT Austin and few other schools and it doesnt seem to matter.
Is it worth paying 50K for UT or 30K for NYU/RPI if I can study CE with 10-15K at SB/Bing?
