Hi. I’m an international high school senior taking the IB program. I want to double major in film and math (I know it’s a weird combination, but I like both!). However, I need a huge amount of financial need. I initially wanted to ED to Barnard because of the meet full need policy, but now I learned that NYU is also going to meet the full need of students this year. (yay!) In terms of film major, NYU is certainly one of the best film school in the country, and for this reason I would really want to attend NYU. But I also love Barnard and the opportunities given to Barnard students about Columbia University. Barnard’s film major is also very good, since you can take the Columbia film classes also. The thing is, Barnard only has one ED option, whereas NYU has 2 ED options. So I was thinking applying to Barnard first, and if I am rejected, will apply to NYU in the second ED option. But now I am not sure. Should I do as I planned or should I directly apply to NYU ED 1? Thank you!
