Thanks for all the feedback, folks.

After the input from this thread, we had a family discussion on the topic. My family makes a tad more than 150K currently. So, it seems I won’t get any/much financial aid in any case. At a high level, there are two options: go to in-state public university or go out-of-state/private. If I go out-of-state/private, it seems the bill is approx $150-200K for 4 years of college. If I get into UT Austin, that would be the best thing. Next best will be to get admitted into one of the top rank private colleges (Stanford, Harvey Mudd, Olin etc.) - my family is considering financial options to pay the full tab for such a college. Otherwise, it will have to be TAMU or UTD. Let us see how it goes. Thanks.
