So I'm sure some of you read my earlier "Chose U of M over Duke" thread...well it turned out after I sent them an email saying I was really frustrated, their financial aid process worked out much faster. They sent me a revised letter today, which included a total of around $13,000/year in aid, about 6000-7000 was scholarship, about 1600 workstudy, and the rest of it loans. So...my parents have pretty much told me "See...we told you. Go to U of M." I made one last plea by emailing some other people (Dean of admissions), so I am hoping it will lead to something.

U of M was giving me 26k/year in scholarship for 4 years (so its guaranteed too)

Which of you guys gave up Duke for another school and which school was it? Was finances your main issue?
