[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been saying it for years, UVA is the best school in the South and Duke can’t hold a candle to it.[/quote]

In all those years, has anybody not laughed in your face?[/quote]

I'm not that poster but Duke is now $86K a year.  UVA is $37K a year for in-state.  We didn't even LOOK at Duke much less apply.  That is a HUGE after tax difference of almost $50K a year x 4 years.  We have to make $360K to clear that difference.  No college is worth that.[/quote]

It’s definitely a stretch without financial aid but T10 schools generally give fantastic aid if you really can’t afford the full price[/quote]

you are confusing merit aid with financial aid.  most of us are full pay.[/quote]

Agreed, but [b]Duke is one of the schools [/b]we would pay full for. Along with HPSM, Penn, Columbia, Yale, Caltech[/quote]

Pfft.  You do realize that most people reading here cannot afford $86K a year in after-tax dollars? And even though they saved mightily cannot afford that? And even after FAFSA and CSS will receive no financial or merit aid. But you do you!  Why are you on a UVA page if you are that entitled?

Why don't you add USC to the list.  It's now $93K a year.[/quote]

Why are you so triggered? P[b]P literally was talking about their own family,[/b] not about what everyone else should do.[/quote]

how is a list about affording Duke, HPSM, Penn, Columbia, Yale, Caltech not an insensitive post on a thread about a public institution?  Goody for them but utterly irrelevant!  I don't go on threads about community college and say "well in my family we can pay for USC, Columbia, Northeastern," etc.  It's not triggering.  It's in bad taste. And irrelevant to the thread.[/quote]
