FSU or SMU

Deciding between two schools

SMU and FSU

I would rather prefer Texas but FSU would cost me about 65k less over three years ... when you add interest it comes out to more ... but SMU grads make on average a lot more money coming out

FSU cost of attendance ( $47000 on average per year)

SMU cost of attendance ($ 69,000 per year)

FSU. I'd get a better score and reapply if possible (163+). 22% of students at FSU don't pay tuition at all. 15% of them are getting some stipend money from the school.

I don't know what you're paying, but @Constantine makes great points. If you're already getting great scholarship money at FSU in the most competitive cycle ever then you're a strong candidate for even more if you wait. If you don't want to wait then FSU is still the better move.

Do you think next cycle will be less competitive ?
