I'm committed to Duke, however...

Applying to College
1

Hey yall,
I feel like I have a shot for Duke if I apply ED.
However, my family is in a major financial crisis.
…I don’t have any college savings what so ever…
What if I do get accepted but the financial package isn’t enough?

I really want to give trinity a shot…

Trinity College? Both have excellent financial aid. I know trinity is a quesbridge school, but I don’t think Duke is. Regardless both have great financial aid. You can do a net price calculator for both. Just look it up and see what it would cost you.

@gdlt234 I think OP means Trinity College of Arts and Science at Duke University

If the financial aid package you receive is not sufficient, I believe you can reject the offer? However, if you need financial aid really badly, I think it’s best not to bind yourself to a college.

@PartyNextDoor Ahh that makes sense haha.

But yeah, I’d agree that ED may not be best if finances are an issue. Still I’d do the net calculator OP.
