I actually just did all the math and Duke would cost me 47,000 more dollars and take more time (the other program is 12 months only). I'm gonna head on over to Stony Brook :) Still a great program and won't put in me in debt until I'm 100 haha I kno...

Alright, gang! I didn't get it, good job to whoever did! I will probably attend Stony Brook due to the expense lol I wish so bad it was cheaper but I'm really afraid of debt lol.

Holly- Financial aid said you can receive anywhere from 10k to 60k in need based scholarships. I found it hard to believe myself and maybe we were right because I don't know of anyone who received that much lol. But, yeah I am pretty sure I will end ...

Hey everyone! To the people who found they didn't get enough financial aid, I was just wondering where your heads are at? I got accepted to a state school, which is like 40k cheaper, and Duke. Duke was what I really wanted, so while I know what I SHO...
lexylynn replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina
I got mine also. I fell below the poverty line also and got less than what I need. I will wait for the answer on the merit scholarship and if I don't get it, I will probably end up at the State school I applied to. It's like 40k cheaper. Duke is just...
lexylynn replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina
I hope so. I am in the same position as you, I really REALLY want to go to Duke but it is so expensive. That's why I'm freaking out so much about the aid information. That sucks, I would think that with two kids it'd be the opposite, but yeah I guess...
lexylynn replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina
I haven't received any financial aid information yet. On the applicant portal, it still says "Financial Aid information not ready for release". Oh gosh I hope I'm not the only one who didn't get anything yet.
lexylynn replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina
I also got into a state school thats way cheaper, but they obviously don't offer any aid and are not as prestigious as Duke is. I know Duke could potentially give a lot so I hope they do cause I would really love to attend and not be like 100k in deb...

I hope that's not true.. Half the people are going on the waitlist and half admitted? Dang, as if I wasn't already so nervous I hope they send them out today, this has been a heck of a wait.

Anyone know if they have some type a tuition reimbursement program if you work for them? I remember reading that a few places, but there seems to be a few different things I've heard about it!
lexylynn replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina
Thanks Irtyson amd droot353! Did they happen to mention what the statistics of admitted students typically look like... GPA and stuff? And did they talk about Financial Aid? Does there appear to be a decent amount of help or is it all loans mostly?
lexylynn replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina
Awesome! Thank you for the info, droot353! From your info, it looks like around 22 are on the waitlist and 73 admitted, if everyone who attended was invited. So nervewracking... also, awesome they're number one!
Thanks for your help, everyone! I actually have one more question.. if anyone knows the answer to this lol. Does anyone know when we can start to apply for on campus housing? Or is everyone doing off campus? Is on campus offered to us?
Thanks .shad! Anyone manage to pay that deposit yet? I tried to get it going but it still doesn't seem to be working in SOLAR. If I can't do it on my own today I guess I'll give them a call.
Does anyone know around when we will hear back about the FAFSA and Financial Aid? I know we don't get grants or whatever but I wanna know about the Stafford Loans. Does anyone know when we are supposed to hear about that?
