I mean, yeah, if you go to Duke or Michigan you have a pretty solid chance at getting a job that will allow you to make your payments, but do you even know how much sticker is?

As far as Duke and Michigan go - I'm planning on attending either if they call (which I don't think is likely but I am prepared to stay on the waitlist until the end). Are there any strong arguments against attending either of those at sticker?
Of course I'd prefer not to, but my GPA is abysmal and if USC only gave me $15K it seems silly to expect anything from a T14. Granted I haven't done much research on what I should expect, hence me asking here, but I just don't want to pass up a T14 school this year because I'm not getting money only to waste a year and find that I still don't get any money.
