<p>Wake is listed among a small list of schools who are need blind on admissions AND meet 100% of need. Yet, Princeton Review gives them a very low financial aid rating in the low to mid 70s. I have heard that some schoold "meet full need" but do it with more "self help" than grants. Have any of you received an aid package from Wake? Any disappointments?</p>
<p>My family and I are very satisfied with the aid package I received. I felt it was quite generous.</p>
<p>We are also very pleased with D's aid package from Wake. Although it does contain loans and federal work study it contains a sizeable grant as well and truly did meet 100% of the coast after application of the EFC. D is happy to contribute whatever she can to getting the excellent education she expects to receive here. She turned down considerable merit offers elsewhere to attend Wake.</p>
<p>Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Of course all schools include some "self help" through loans and work study. Looking at the stats, it looks like most schools keep the debt to $20K or so over four years, but it seems a little higher at Wake. I can see in their other material they are working hard to improve it.</p>
<p>I will also be grateful for any help, but I do need to anticipate for planning purposes what types of packages they are putting together these days.</p>
