| I agree with CNI...the $125-200 tax bracket families are supposed to pay full price at Duke.
Yes, you will receive a good education at Duke....but is it worth more than $200,000? Will you be much better off than if you go to a university that costs half as much?
I, myself, thought about it long and hard and decided that NO it is NOT worth it.
Which is why I sent Duke my "thanks but no thanks letter" and as a result somebody got off the waiting list and is facing similar questions now.
Good luck |
