<p>how much financial aid could I get from duke. parents make ~90,000 dollars combined. They are old (haha) and will probably both retire about as soon as I get into college.</p>
<p>Hm, my parents made around $80k this year combined. I have two siblings younger than me, and our EFC is around $9k.</p>
<p>Duke offered us almost $40k this year. So maybe you’ll receive something in that ballpark?</p>
<p>ok thanks!</p>
<p>That sounds right. I saw on their brochure that the avg grant amount for 80-100k was 35-40k.</p>
<p>Well it varies on individual circumstances. My parents (mom and step-dad) make around $80K a year combined, and Duke gave me approximately $55,000 in financial aide. $49,430 of that award was Duke grant money. Being that my non-custodial parent only made $24,000 this year, I may have gained an advantage, but I’m not sure. I’m just trying to say that it varies a lot from household to household. You might receive something around my aide?</p>
<p>If Duke doesn’t give you the financial aid you’re hoping for, remember that you can always save money by being frugal during your first year. For example, a lot of people in my Econ class showed up with Macbooks, but my Dell Studio 15 does the exact same job for $1,000 cheaper. I used the coupon code F2JP12F17NX915 and redeemed it here: <a href=“Computers, Monitors & Technology Solutions | Dell USA”>Computers, Monitors & Technology Solutions | Dell USA;
<p>wow. talk about stealthy advertising tactics! wooohooooo! hahaah.</p>
