| It sounds as though you are already a student at the LAC and are looking to transfer? It sounds as though Emory is still a possibility, but it, too, is pretty expensive. Are your parents willing to pay for Emory? And, it's not clear whether they are willing to pay for any of NYU and whether they are paying for the LAC. Clearly, they won't pay for State U.
Not knowing where you're located, it is hard to offer up any wisdom. However, there must be options between the local LAC and NYU. There must be other schools that your parents would be willing to help out with.
Full disclosure, though -- I agree with Keefer that I don't think NYU (or Harvard or any other) is worth $50K per year. OTOH, I also don't insist that the cheapest option is the only way to go either -- my son is at a very good public in another state so we pay OOS tuition while our in-state option is a very good school and would have been way less costly.
Good luck with whatever you are able to work out. |
