congratulations!

Those are tough schools to get into! We lived in Chapel Hill for years and I love UNC, but ds had no interest. Ds is still waiting to hear from Duke, both for $ and acceptance. Was accepted everywhere else he applied, and has some merit and a little need-based grant money, but with costs being what they are, $$ will be a huge determinant of decisions.

He has received $13,000 to $22,000 in merit/needs based money but with a $33,000 - $45,000 price tag for the schools involved, we're still looking at paying $20,000 to $23,000 per year. He can go to UF almost for free. Even if we had to pay full price for UF, it's only a $12,000 per year education. We can do that math.
