@tamagotchi Georgia Tech’s CDS OOS Cost of Attendance is 55K. Great bang for buck, but not an outlier in this data set. I didn’t want to get into making judgments about “best value”, though Tech definitely qualifies for me.
@tsbna44 I agree auto merit is another layer on top of this. EDITED: I forgot that some like U Alabama have very significant auto programs — 25% of the class based on SATs should be getting at least 24K OOS/full tuition IS. Not sure how to deal with this issue in the context of this data set.
