Hi fellow UT CS grad.
I had to google for an article I remember reading a while ago but apparently over half of UT grads come from families that make over $100k+. It's not as bad as I thought but UT Austin has a much higher representation of (upper) middle class kids than lower class kids.

- sotojuan 10y agoI didn't go to UT Austin! I wanted to but at the time I wasn't a US resident (just legal under my mom's visa), so no financial aid at all—I got a merit scholarship somewhere else. What you said makes sense. If your family makes over $100k in Texas, you can definitely pay for most if not all your kid's college after FAFSA/any scholarships.
