This is correct - non-NU financial aid cannot be applied to NUin, however, if she did receive NU merit, that will apply to NUin expenses.

Besides that financial restriction, I would say that the fact that NUin isn’t college “yet” was a big positive for my daughter. While her classes in Dublin were “real” college, they were easier and the grades that show up on the NU transcript are all P/F. It was a very nice on-ramp to college after a rigorous high school schedule, particularly for my daughter who is pre-med and therefore has many years of studying ahead of her. It was great to have a semester that wasn’t as difficult and contained lots of fun travel before she had to start worrying about GPA and all that comes with a rigorous college like NU.
