<p>zixxa, Thank you for the post. Just wanted to note that on Wake’s Financial Aid website, they said that they do MAX loans at 4k/year for families making 40,000 or less. I know my family made more than that in 2008, but not by much. That is why I was under the (I guess false) impression that loans for people making 50,000 or so should probably be around 6-8k a year if they max loans at 4k for people making 40,000 a year.</p>
