Question regarding awful financial aid award?/Plight of the middle class

<p>Here is what I don’t get, you say your parents take home 200k each year before taxes and you got nothing WITH a sibling in college. My parents take home ~100-120k a year and I have a sibling in college and I’m got 40k/year PLUS federal loans from Duke. Duke is extremely generous with their aid and clearly there is some good reason for you not getting aid.</p>
