First of all, congratulations! It has become harder and harder to get into Cox each year, BBA or direct. Secondly, I feel you on that sentiment because I was in your shoes two years ago. My kid didn’t get the top scholarship but did get some financial aid instead to offset. Even with the scholarship and FA, it was still like twice the cost of our public option in our home state. We did take a little financial risk at the time.
Luckily, she started working as RA since her sophomore year, which helps tremendously with the bill. It is very competitive to get the RA offer though, kind of like the most sought-after on campus job that they offer.
Also, if your kid wants to pursue IB, the summer interns get paid at $53 per hour on top of overtime pay, moving and other subsidize. Certainly, that is not a guarantee, but it would help a lot if they get summer internship money as well.
