You got $22,500 a year at Wake.

What exactly are you looking for?

bad advice. i would retake and reapply. sticker at iowa, unless you have regional connections, is risky.

Iowa instate is better than $22,500/yr at Wake. I was happy to go to Iowa instate until I looked at tuition, which has been increasing at over 15% a year for the past two years.

Tuition can go up another 10% if you wait a year, and aid/scholly funds may shrink everywhere in the mean time... Just a thought to consider as well.
