My D is now a senior. I was not thrilled with her FA package, but I would not discount applying because you never know what the package will be. I have read over the years on CC, the varying packages fom really great to minimal. The better your childs stats are,and the more NYU wants your child, the better the package will be, to meet financial need. It depends on which of the NYU schools you apply to. One student here on CC received 32,000 in free money, the remainder was student federal loans and his parent paid the rest. This was 100% of need met. This is just an example. There have been students withbgreat financial need but only was offered 10,000. So you never know until you apply.
