When these threads mention "I got 25K from Irvine" with 162/3.8, do they mean 25K per year? Or...

Thanks!

It depends on the poster, but it's generally the 3 year sum. Which is the best way to do it if you want helpful advice.

Not sure if that's correct. My understanding is that the 25K would be per year.

Another question: when schools say they offer in-state tuition to out-of-staters does that savings show up as part of the offer? For example, when someone says they were offered $70k with in-state tuition, does that mean the tuition decrease was factored into the $70k or was offered in addition to it?

$70k with in-state tuition would likely mean on top of/in addition to. But again, it's going to depend on the poster/reporter. Also, some people like to inflate their numbers. Why? Self-importance, who knows. I've seen people report that they get money with in-state tuition, to indicate that they are in-state applicants and received that much money. Sometimes it's to help other people calculate their debt/check their figures.

Thanks. I suppose it's made clear in the acceptance/offer packet. I got my first acceptance yesterday and looked at LSN at what other people had gotten. I know this school offers in-state tuition as well, and was trying to figure out what I was likely to be looking at. (I'll know in a couple of days for sure, but in the meantime, why not speculate wildly?)
