<p>^ Duke wasn’t very generous to me either. Our parents make a fair amount of money and I’m an only child. We also like to hoard money (which in retrospect, they realized was a bad decision). Our EFC was slightly more than $40,000, so we were expecting about 20k in aid (which was what the aid calculator told us too).</p>
<p>They only offered the usual Stafford loan and a small work study grant. I guess Duke doesn’t really like the upper middle class.</p>
