<p>To the original poster, the others are right: If you got into other schools JUST as good academically and otherwise as Stern and they gave you more financial aid, I’d seriously consider going those schools. As you must know, there is always the option to transfer (after saving up some money and/or trying out other schools) to or go to grad school at NYU. If they accepted you this time, they’ll accept you transferring (unless you fail college or something). It’s always a good option if you think the price of paying $700 a month for 20 years is a little too high for you.</p>
<p>To the person worrying about my financial well being, it would have cost just as much for me to go to a crappier undergraduate school for cheaper and then gone to Tisch grad school, which was my plan, and I personally would like to start full-time work after four years :)</p>
