Before you get you heart set on NYU, please be aware that they are notoriously stingy with financial aid.

If Finances are not an issue, and you and your parents are fine being full pay, that might not matter, but if you’re counting on financial aid, NYU clearly states that it is NOT a meets need school.:

“…the primary responsibility for meeting college costs rests with the student and the family…”

“…NYU is not able to meet the full need …”

The surprise is when they meet need, not when they don’t.

Both from the main NYU Fin Aid page at https://www.nyu.edu/admissions/financial-aid-and-scholarships.html

Multiple posts every year from kids and families who were accepted to NYU and then deeply regret applying when they get insufficient aid.
