[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So VA kids like TJ don’t want UVA but love UNC but NC kids don’t want UNC?[/quote]

Those [b]in NC without money absolutely want UNC.[/b] In state tuition at UNC and NC State is like $7500. Unless someone gets a full ride somewhere, that's hard to beat. My kids went to a NC public high school where only ~38% go on to 4 year colleges. A good number of those end up at NC State & UNC.[/quote]

100% false. Those in NC who are full need/pell grant type kids have EFC=0 at all schools and pick the Dukes and ivies of the world over UNC when they have the choice. Those with partial need, 150-250k HHI, get better aid at ivies, Hopkins, Stanford and particularly Duke with their in-state need based program. It is cheaper, often by a lot, to go to these schools over UNCCH. It just is. The state of North Carolina loses their smartest kids even more than they did 10 years ago. At least the newer Duke funds keep a group in the state. 
Now if your post meant what DCUM calls "donut hole" (no need based aid anywhere), these days that means families with over 250k HHI and at some schools over 300k HHI. That is hardly "without money". Come on. [/quote]
