I'm glad I just got both my kids through UT. My son turned down a $130K scholarship to OU to go to UT with no financial aid. It paid off as he got a nice job with Apple & makes more than what I make.
My daughter turned down some other opportunities & has been mad about the no financial aid from UT. I told her it's an investment that will pay off. She just graduated from UT in May. We will see.
