<p>Honestly, wjhsxc, do you have a back-up school that is cheaper? No school, including Wake, is worth that much in loans. Anything over 25k in loans is ludicrous, especially in our socioeconomic bracket. I understand economic times are rough, but I do not think we deserved to be chained in loans for years because of our background. Wake needs to stop lying and just say they’re need-aware or that they do not meet 100% of need. 56k in loans with a EFC of 4k is NOT meeting full need. That’s pitiful Wake, really pitiful…</p>
<p>wjhsxc, if my FA package is like yours in ANY school, I would not attend. I rather just be a star student at my state’s flagship and graduate debt free. I am willing to take loans to go to Wake, but not that much. How much the loans are subsidized? I am just shocked about your package…I mean they say they meet 100% of need a thousand times on their (outdated) website, that is just crazy to package that much loans. Ugh. Is there anyway to negotiate your package with Wake? Any Wake parents or alumni here for advice? Please?! We all really want to attend Wake but this package is just crazy…</p>
