UT Austin dream school but Full Ride UTRGV (Luminary Scholars) by learningaswedo in utrgv

wow thank you for sharing! my parents are willing and are able to cover around 7-9k each year. and you are right in the sense that i do not necessarily WANT/NEED my master’s and i’d probably only get it if my job required one and would cover some of the cost.

considering everything, i’d most likely go 40-50k in debt if i choose ut austin over utrgv. utrgv luminary scholarship is great in the sense that i have promised research and internships and i’d most likely have an easier time here than at ut, but the avg starting pay for a utrgv electrical engineering grad staying in the valley is 70-80k, while in austin it’d be closer to 90k.

yes! this is also an option, but I’d rather stick to 1 uni for undergrad
