Sahilbryan - I don't know from where you got ur info?, But, I think you should start looking into things by urself.


Rookie1 - I graduated from UTA, I transfered from NLC with scholarship and also got my Phi Thita Kaapa scholarship of $ 1000 per year.


Here are the things -


Both UTA and UNT overall ranking are almost same ( not in 100 or even 200, some close to C level). Now Each university has its own department ranking, For UTA their enegerring dept falls somewhere in 70 (according to 2006 data). From my personal experince, UTA is much much better when it comes to scholarship. I think ( now this is I think) UTA gets more fund than any other university in close proxmity of DFW. For UTA, if u have a better GPA (above 3.25) , scholarship is almost ceratian, provided that u applied early enough. Plus u do get Phi thita kaapa scholarship, worth 1000 dollar year, upto 4 semester. Also, during our time, there was a flat rate - above 14 credit hours u pay the same amount. Now, it's 12 credits. So If u are a dedicated one, U can take as much as upto 21 credit hours and just pay 12 credits our fees. Also, they have something called - Early graduation, ( i am not sure still they have that or not. But I got $ 500 check for doing early grdaution, basically if u take 15 or more cedit hours in two semsters and maintain a good GPA (3.5) u get this money. recently I found out that their scholarship amount has gone real up compared to our time ( almost double). Now, U do get Asscoaite dergree scholarship for transfer students, if u have ass, degree and GPA should be 3 and above.


Now, I have 3 frds who are @ UNT, None of them got any scholarship in their first semstere. neither they have scholarship at this point. Buty they are paying in- state tution becoz they work their in computer lab. In UNT, if u work in the college, ur tution is wavied to pay for instate. I have not seen any Nepelase with scholarship with my contacts in UNT. Now, I might be bias here becoz i Didn't atteneted. But I know many who pays in-state tution. WHile UTA is just a target for most of Nepalase who goes to NLC. Other things scholarship years start from Fall. So u have less fund left in SPring. And if u fell to maintain ur GPA in spring, then ur scholarship is gone. while if u went in Fall and say u didn't maintain a GPA in fall, U can pull that in spring and they count total of Fall and spring, and next year starts.


 


Hope this helps...thanks
