Ha- and I know two students that were accepted to NYU with (they claim) $20,000 a year packages and they are not accepting because they did not do their homework like asking their parents if they would pay the difference or borrow the difference. Both students proudly said “I am not going into debt for any college”…They actually thought they would get a full ride to NYU or other schools in NYU’s tier or below…HA! so I would not be PO’ed at NYU I am upset with people that don’t prepare for such a major decision in life like choosing a college. These kids in a sense were accepted over other kids that were turned down that would have jumped at a chance to go to NYU and go into debt…I know this is a major duuuuuuh to the regular CC posters but I just had to vent- sorry… this is the reality of the college admissions game that is revolting to me…
