<p>alwaysamom - Thanks for the acknowledgment of knowing the tuition pain from NYU. In retrospect, I do wish my daughter would have taken her SATs and submitted those scores, because every little bit does help, and I think that would have assisted in obtaining a small merit scholarship. When the advisor said that an ACT of 32 was perceived as average I realized what kind of competition she was up against. The one silver lining is that I look at paying her tuition and room and board as an investment in the best thing I can think of – her future.</p>
