<p>It's $5000 extra per year. ($32,000 - $12,000 [My parents] - $15,000 [Pre-Prime loan] = $5,000) I guess I could even work this summer and during my freshman year at UNC, if I went there, to get that $5,000, but I'd just be worried that if working took too much of my time, or if I couldn't get a job I liked, I'd be screwed since I'd need the money immediately for tuition. </p>
<p>What I'm thinking of doing is going to Binghamton or Delaware for a year, working during the year and/or over the summer as necessary to get that $5,000, and then transferring to UNC (assuming I got in again) as a sophomore. Then I'd just stay at UNC for the rest of my time at college. (I know someone who got into Cornell as a guaranteed transfer, so he's going to Syracuse for a year and then going to Cornell.. I'd basically just be doing the same thing for UNC.)</p>
