<p>Hi Madeleine,
To be honest, NYU was quite unsuccessful in warning its applicants as it claims, demonstrated by my shocked reaction when I saw my financial aid package from them. Too much debt!!! On the other hand, GW really tried its best to please its accepted students, like myself. The moment I checked out my financial aid information on the web, I decided on to enroll at GW without a doubt. Each time I have called the FA office for various reasons - such as asking whether my FA need would be met 100% or what to do with outside scholarships - I have received a detailed and clear answer right away. If you need more information, feel free to PM me. I’m more than willing to contribute to this article. Can’t wait for CI this month!!! :D</p>
