<p>@NYU2013 -if im correct, i think you’re saying that NYU gives less aid to ED applicants as they are expected to attend NYU if they are accepted. does that mean i would have been offered more aid if i had applied RD? i mean my stats would have been the same, and since the scholarship is merit-based, shouldn’t ED and RD scholarships be the same?</p>
<p>On the NYU page it says that “Students are not offered more or less financial aid based on when they apply for admission”. your answer and NYU’s page are kind of contradicting each other. I would have never applied ED if i had known that ED and RD financial aid awards are different.</p>
<p>@Noldi - WOW. that is an amazing FA package! Congrats!
@eljamas- yes, that probably means that you weren’t awarded any merit based aid. And i doubt that you would be given any in the spring since you didn’t apply for it. but you should definitely call the office of financial aid to confirm!
@TheEllister2007 - Congrats on your acceptance! 
and good luck!</p>
