<p>My wife and I both graduated from Wake. Our daughters both went to an Ivy at which they received generous financial aid. Their younger brother, with similar stats, likes the moderate size of most Ivies, but wants very much to participate in a Division I marching band. Wake would be a great fit for him. In the last year or so, we’ve inherited assets that along with our moderate income would put us in the “poor full payer” category along with Jcold9. As a loyal Wake alum, it hurts me to say that the college list for my academically-strong, smaller campus-favoring son doesn’t include my Alma Mater - but from a financial standpoint, it doesn’t. :(</p>
