Recently got my scholly offer. I'm very happy with it, 90k over the three years. At the risk of sounding greedy, has anyone received a full ride from UT? (or housing, healthcare stipdent, etc?)

Did you get in state? That's nearly 60k total.
Got scholarship email, merit + NRTE = $140K
Nice! Is that full tuition?

I think full is ~$105k on top of in-state/in-state credit.

Did you get in state? That's nearly ~45k my mistake total.

90k not including the exception is a near full ride? Im all confused about the way UT does things.

https://law.utexas.edu/admissions/tuiti ... -expenses/

If you are a Texan or got the in-state waiver or whatever they call it, your non-discounted tuition is $35,015 + $33,514 + $33,514 = $102,043

So a $102k ADDITIONAL scholarship would be a true full ride.

If you are out of state and did not get the in-state waiver, tuition will be $51,995 + $49,762 + $49,762 = $151,519.

So if you got the in-state discount waiver, view it as an additional $49,476 scholarship.

So if you submit the form before 3/27 they have to reply with a counter offer before 3/31?

They dont have to. Once you get a reply, could be after the 31st, you have 5 business days to respond. There doesnt seem to be a hard deadline for submitting a reconsideration form. The language stipulates that if you submitted a form before 3/27, all offers will be rescinded by 3/31 unless you accept.

I got mine separately in an email after getting the Fin Aid email. Different for everyone i guess?

Maybe I'm confused as to the emails. I have so many emails I delete all non-scholarship ones.
Let me clarify: it came in the same merit scholarship email for me.

Yeah that language is what was making me think they would try to get the offers out before the 31st- If you submitted before 3/27 and get your offer on 3/29 and it will be rescinded on the 31st that seems like a crap deal compared to submitting later and getting five days to decide
