How much do you need in order to attend? Because even in the unlikely situation that Duke reconsiders they will not offer you more than 5 or 10K. I have many friends in the 250K bracket with multiple kids in college and the highest need award that any of them got is 10K. That is the absolutely highest and only from one college as for most of them they were still full pays. We are in much lower bracket and talking to a school right now and they already told us not to even bother if the only excuse we have is that we do not want to borrow or that we got merit elsewhere. We have a couple other excuses so we will give it a try but seriously I expect nothing. If we had the offers you did I would not even bother. You have wonderful choices. Do you understand how lucky you are? Choose between USC or Rice.
