Sad for a bit, but now a new adventure begins. Now you need to consider other schools.

Are you male, female, URM???

What was it that you liked about NYU?

What do you NOT like about Purdue or IU?


What do you like? Big schools, small schools, quiet schools, rah rah big sports, rural, big city, college town, warm weather, cold/snowy weather, Greeks,????

What ECs or ??? do you think caused NYU to look beyond your test scores?

Male. I like the city life, internship opportunities, academics. I dont want to stay in Indiana. I need a fresh start with no one I know going to school with me.

I like big school, city, sports dont matter, dont care about weather, greek dont care.

I had a VERY strong essay for NYU. Plus I went to a summer school at georgetown to study politics that helped. Also president of 2 clubs and involved in school. 4.0 unweighed gpa. etc.

Will too many of your classmates be at IU and Purdue?

Refresh my memory - how much will your mom contribute towards your education each year?

Have you asked your dad how much he'll contribute? If not, you need to do so, so you'll know what your financial situation is.

She said MAX $10,000, but thats pushing it. And, they made more this year than they've ever made before. And my step dad has the possibility of getting laid off in Feb (works at Ford)... I'd say $4,000 - 6,000 a year is realistic.

My dad... idk if my mom wants him to. She kind of wants him out of the picture.
