“So unless you are certain NYU is your first choice AND you can afford it”

The problem is you don’t know if you can afford it before receiving the ED financial aid offer, but there’s no danger in applying ED if you don’t know. If the ED FA offer is insufficient, it is declined, and you apply RD elsewhere. The issue with NYU is potentially wasting the ED application fee if the chances of it working out are low. The net price calculator should help.
