With an engineering degree & your interest in oil & gas, Texas appears to be a great option--especially with your double discount.

we can't really help you unless you tell what your goals are specifically but yea UT looks good here- i can't imagine a situation where going to WUSTL is worth that much more unless you wanted to live in the midwest.

UT based on your goals, but where are you from?

WUSTL would be $10,000/year less expensive.

I wouldn't go to UT without a burning desire to live and work in TX long term.

It's probably your best option but I think that's more than I would be willing to spend to go there though, you'll be like 130-140K in debt at graduation

My scholarship is about 10K more a year and I have SO support and I'll still be close to 80K debt when all is said and done. If you're debt financing all of that you'll be well over 100K debt but if you aren't then disregard.

Feel free to PM me if you want to hear about big law hunting in Houston from UT as a non-Texan.

Jobs in Austin (especially high paying) are extremely competitive and honestly I wouldn't even think of that as an option but maybe it's a possibility if your connections are rock solid.

I know it's tough as a splitter and you probably won't get any better options than this so if this is something you really want to do (and you know what all it entails) then I say go for it. It's just hard for me to recommend 100K+ debt at UT when you can already get a 100K job in your current career I guess.
