How much Financial Aid should I expect?

Colleges & Universities Duke University

<p>Even though every case is different… how much need-based aid should I expect to receive from Duke? (and how much of it would be through loans)</p>

<p>Household income: ~$20,000 / year, no major assets
Family: single mom, me, + 1 younger sister
SAT: 2100 - 2200 range
GPA: 3.6 / 4.1</p>

<p>Any range would be helpful to know, based on what Duke usually does. Thanks!</p>

<p>Duke Meets 100% of Financial need, so basically you can calculate your EFC on any online EFC calculator.</p>

<p>If you got in (which would be extremely tough), it would be 100% free for you, no question.</p>

<p>Anyone below $40k a year is good to go, free of charge. Now, getting in with a 3.6 would be crazy, so get great grades this year!!</p>

<p>thanks sounds awesome, i’ll definitely apply</p>

<p>you have to remember that some of the FA is subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Duke does not have a no loan FA policy.</p>

<p>^ Uhhh vasudevan, yes…yes, they do lol.</p>

<p>Read the article I just posted, silly <em>rolls eyes</em></p>

<p>^meh, sorry, just a little lazy/pointing out that it was different than Harvard’s policy which is what every college’s financial aid is compared to now a days.</p>

<p>I thought Duke still gives you loans like they used to if you make more than 100K…</p>

<p>yeah the policy is that salary<40K = no loan anything greater than that has loans. I believe the value for no loans is different at different colleges.</p>
