<p>Yes namtrag, that was my point exactly. I am holding off my call to see if I can show them a U. of Wash offer. I wouldn’t expect to get a favorable response if I had nothing else in hand. I was just fishing to see if anyone else has had any experience in dealing with Carolina’s FinAid. I am glad for all those whose decisions have already been made - with USC scholarship offers in hand. For those of us OOSers still in the wait-and-see mode I would hope Carolina would be in a position to tell us flat out they would match or beat any in-state U offer we happen to get.</p>
