<p>NYU gave the worst FA to my daughter of the 7 schools that accepted her - She got lots of loans plus some grants for NMF. They do come through for a small set of people with merit money but their needs-based FA is poor. </p>
<p>I warned dd before applying so she knew that there was a good chance that they would give poor aid. It was a disappointment when we compared FA packages but she got over it pretty quickly since she knew what was likely beforehand.</p>
