<p>My EFC was around $4300ish. So in terms of meeting need, Wake was really generous, and covered a lot. But I don’t want to have to sell my soul in order to pay off these loans.
I’ve gone over the CoA repeatedly to try and figure out how much is concrete (room, tuition, fees), and how much of it is flexible/how much I can skip and save on (the cheapest meal plan, books…). I mean, I’m not going to spend $750 on travel, or $1400 on personal expenses. If I do, I’m def. not taking a loan for it…I’m willing to work as hard as I need to. Just trying to see if I can even make it a possibility.</p>
