I would look at these funds before I made a final discussion.

Large Cap: STRGX,FDFFX,JARTX,JORNX.

International: HAINX/HIINX,GIGSX,JAOSX

Mid Caps: CGMFX,FLVCX/FLVIX,HFTFX

Small Caps:HRVIX,STSCX,RYVFX ( better thanRYVPX)

 I would go with maybe 4 large cap funds,3 International,3 Mid caps and 2 Small caps for a total of 12 funds.

Only an opinion for what it's worth.Good luck.

boatmanea,

I also work for the UT System as well and currently have my investements with Fidelity.  In addition to your ORP contributions, you should also be eligible to contribute additional pretax dollars via the TSA through Fidelity as well.  The contribution limits to the TSA are the same as those for and IRA. 

I agree with oildog that you chose too many funds.  Talk to the rep, and hopefully they can work out an investment plan with you based on your goals.  If not, seek some additional advice, although you probably do not have too much time before you have to decide.

I figured that I was going a little overboard as I thought about all the funds on my drive home. I think I'll knock it down to 10 to 12 total.

 As far as other places to invest, we're certainly looking at other options, but want to get the 403b started and see where we sit financialy before I begin contributing to other areas (IRA, TSA< etc...)

 Thanks all! I really appreciate your comments!
