@timell Certainly true it is the total cost. You figure at close to 44k a year the total cost is in the 175k range for an OOS student. That’s cheaper than Lori Laughlin pricing (add 500k). Schools know the supply/demand and are going to charge whatever makes the most sense. This $2000 handout probably passed the litmus test and they decided OOS students would eat it.

I get it but it does make Cal Poly a bit less attractive. Not that they need to care. At 31% acceptance rate they’ll just move to the next person on the waitlist. They have a good product and the demand is there.
