@YoungOne4 :
Generally NYU isn’t worth it. It doesn’t meet need and practices “admit/deny” ie., Pretends you’re admitted full pay when they know you can’t afford it, so they’re really denying you but if you’re foolishly willing to get into debt for them why derive themselves of your money? It’s cynical.
Did your son apply to other New York City colleges? What are his other choices?
Help him move on as it’s unlikely he’ll get anything to make the school affordable.
@flowerNcake ; don’t do that to your parents. If your efc is under 10k, odds are there such a burden is unsustainable for them. They may not get approved after your first or second year and then you’d have to drop out, have huge debt and no degree. What are your other choices?
