I was wondering, does anyone know what the actual tuition costs are going to be?

Your firstborn and a pint of blood? Along with 50k a year? Sound about right?

Does anyone know if they call international students?

I'm hoping for a pint of blood scholarship, as I'm afraid of needles.

I know this has been asked before, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who will be caught making this tough decision: UCLA or a lower T-14 like Georgetown/Cornell. How much prestige does Georgetown or Cornell get you in California as compared to UCLA? I was reading a thread earlier today where someone said that Cornell will place you better in San Francisco than UCLA. Really??

Psssshhhhhh. You wanna spend the next three years in cold ass ithaca, or you wanna live it up in westwood?
After year one, you get tuition at 35k, so its cheaper too.

Plus, nah, whoever said UCLA places worse in san fran: They are probably involved in a lil bit of conjecture. Ask for hard data! Sounds like some bullllloney.

I see you've applied to Cornell. Say you get in. It's between Cornell and UCLA. Which do you choose. Why?

The rankings argument is also getting to me. I honestly think UCLA is going to overtake (or tie) Georgetown this year. I don't want to go to Georgetown (and I would only go there for the ranking boost - lame I know) and then find out that UCLA is ranked #14 and Georgetown #15.

AHHHHH.

I'm going to Cornell for their Mock Trial invitational this weekend. The weather report from ithica:

Friday, Jan 29
Low: 6 °F
High: 21 °F

Saturday, Jan 30
Low: 10 °F
High: 23 °F

I'll take a gander over the gorges and try to take a picture of the anti-suicide nets for y'all.

FWIW that would be my guess as well, but I'm an idiot, so I don't know.

Nobody is sure but the proposed tuition costs look pretty grim.

I didn't read the whole report, but I believe that's just one possible proposal. I think any of the UCs are still good deals for in-state, but it's not looking as good for out-of-state people.

We are only considered OOS for one year, and according to those numbers UCLA is still very close to my cheapest offer.

Ah that's not so bad then, except for the entering class in 2012, that's going to suck for them.

Ya and Berkley is going to be crazy expensive next year! I would withdraw if I didn't pay for the app fee.

The difference in tuition cost between Berkeley and UCLA should not be a deciding factor. (assuming you're paying sticker)

I estimate tuition will be around $36,500 in-state and $46,500 out-of-state. This is based on the incremental increases over the last 10 years. It has been growing, but it's got to begin tapering off soon. In my view - and I would probably be trampled on by current UCLA students - the in-state fee is more than fair, if not lowish by "industry standards". (That's the economist/realist in me talking).

College tuition taper off? I disagre. Also UC has huge budget problems and tuition will most likely jump 10-15% rather than an incremental increase. When do they release the real cost though? March?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
