It's too bad all the 'average cost' data carries the caveat that it only accounts for the cost for in-state students. That makes the cost part of it somewhat useless unless you are limiting your search to in-state schools only.
Agreed.
And this makes a world of difference for some institution.
Georgia Tech for example charges more than 3 times more for Out of state students[1] while scorecard shows an average of $11k [2]
I feel that the fact that they take average aid into account can also be a bit misleading. Harvard is just $3K more than Georgia Tech? [3] Probably be best to show Full tuition, then average aid by income levels.
