******NYU Class of 2020 RD Discussion******

@staplercdstar thanks! I got 50k Tisch Arch Scholarship which I believe includes the need factor and then I got 16k from the Steven and Alexandria Cohen Schlp, not sure what the criteria for that is though. The rest were grants and loans.

Hey guys! I was accepted to CAS, but I’m just wondering if anyone knows how much the deposit is for NYU?

@nataliadrevere 500 for tuition, 300 for housing, so 800 for all.

Hey, so I made my Albert account three days ago and can’t access my financial aid yet. Anyone know what’s up with that?

@nataliadrevere

Yesterday I paid $500 for the enrollment deposit and $1000 for the housing deposit for a total of $1500. There was an option of only paying the $500 first but I chose to submit both at the same time.

@jenmejli omg, guess I was way off!

@jenmejli I also paid my enrolment deposit and housing deposit, but after I paid, the Admissions Decision Button under Application Status disappeared … is that for you as well ?

Ok so I got like 60,000 between two different scholarships. Does anyone know if they are renewable for all 4 years?

My FA is a $10k scholarship, $6k in grants, $3k in work study, $3.5k in subsidized loan, $2k in unsubsidized loan, and ~$47.5k in federal plus loan. … There is no way I can attend NYU. Ugh. :frowning:

For those of you who are offered scholarships, congratulations! Would you please share your stats and major with us. My S was only offered a loan for the whole amount with a horrendous interest rate. I’m a little surprised he didn’t get any scholarship or grant. I’m trying to understand what they were looking for. Accepted Film and TV Production major in Tisch.

ACT 33 (99%ile)
GPA U/W 3.748 W 4.724

Lots of EC

Thanks.

Accepted to the college of arts and sciences (Neural Science) with a ~$45k CAS scholarship + ~$5k pell grant. I got a 28 on the ACT, 9/144, U/W GPA of 3.76 & W 4.5, full IB diploma candidate, good amount of ECs, good letters of rec, and I thought my essay was pretty decent.

accepted to the CAS for media and journalism with $50,320 CAS scholarship, $5,765 pell grant
30 on ACT, 4.2 W, 3.6 UW GPA, top 10% of ~700 senior class, 6 AP classes, student government, NHS, part time job
I think my essays were pretty good and showed how I want to live the new york lifestyle which they probably liked!

Is anyone in the Facebook group ‘NYU 2020 Accepted Students’? I tried to join last week and it still says ‘Pending’.

Congratulations to all of those accepted, specially to those who got into Stern! I am looking forward to meet my Sternies classmates!

Does anyone know when the Presidential Scholars will be announced?

Accepted into Tandon and chosen for their honors program, but haven’t been offered a lick of money in schoolarships or grants. A great program but there’s no way I can go off of only loans. Does anyone know if there are any scholarships attached to the honors program? It seems weird that I wouldn’t get anything considering they want me for honors…

I got a decent scholarship (25k) for CAS with a 33 ACT and 3.97, lots of theatre, strong essays, etc. It’s a little less than what I’ve gotten from other schools for a more expensive program, but it’s more than I expected considering NYU’s reputation with aid.

Honestly so depressed that I can not attend NYU, since I received only loans. This has been my dream school since I was 10 and to see it all crumble so suddenly is awful!

It bothers me how I have higher stats than some people who got into CAS, and they are getting amazing scholarships… Meanwhile, I applied to LSP as my first choice, and I got squat and I am not that financially stable.

Does anyone’s Albert still say Financial Aid Unavailable? Does that mean it’s still under review?
