NYU has a horrible NPC to boot - it may well expect a family with 30k income to pay 15-22k a year! Run the NPC and you’ll see. But that NPC doesn’t ask for enough information for you to accurately gauge how much you’d get. But all in all NYU doesn’t pretend to meet need. You can check the CDS if you want to see what percentage students get their need met and what percentage of need.
But there are exceptions:
- HEOP students who live in NYC
- prodigies of some kind (math, arts/drama…)
Loans are not aid.
The federal loans (capped at 5.5k for freshman year) represent what a college graduate can reasonably pay back over 10 years.
@billy2shoes :
What do you like about NYU?
Adults here are knowledgeable about colleges that could share NYU’s characteristics but would be 100%need (or offer merit for your stats but for students with your stats and EFC, 100% need colleges are the best bet).
