He’s right. (About AI) And man I know I’ve read it a thousand times but Burman Fugged us so hard. You’re probably right. He will retire and we might have to endure an unfathomable 4th year.

Won’t your daughter get the “parent attended UW” discount? My youngest is now a senior at UW. I have been paying 150% of instate tuition.

Yes, but that still leaves us on the hook for about $8500 in tuition and $15k in room and board. That's $23.5k per year.

Baylor offered her a 100% tuition scholarship with an additional 2-3 individual scholarships to put towards room and board. Our yearly out-of-pockets costs to go there would be closer to $8-9k.

University of Arkansas offered her a 90% tuition scholarship with a an additional health professions scholarship to use towards the remaining tuition and room and board. Annual out-of-pocket cost there would be around $12k.

The last school we've heard back from so far is LSU. They offered a scholarship that covered about 80% of tuition leaving us with around $15k in annual costs.

As you can see, same student with the same grades and SAT score, and UW is going to cost us the most even with a parent as an alumni.

Man you would have way more exciting football games to attend if she stays in SEC/B12 country

Yeah, it's kind of a bummer though. She really liked UW when we visited.

Fayetteville is very Laramie-esque in all the right ways.

The other schools seem to me to be the better choices given costs (particularly the generous Baylor package).

Your daughter appears to be a high academic achiever given the large scholarship offers she has received. I suspect that someone without her achievement level would find Wyoming to be the more financially wise option as in suspect those scholarship packages are not available to the average student.
