<p>So, I got my SAT scores back today. Although I was happy I made a HUGEEE jump (increased by about 200 points), I was devastated, thinking I would no longer be qualified for HEOP, and would no longer be able to (if I was accepted), attend NYU because there would be NOO WAY I could afford it (even like a $30,000 dollar scholarship wouldn’t have helped me much…).</p>
<p>I THOUGHT that it use to say you had to have a 1000-1250 combined Math and Verbal. Now, I only see that requirement for C-STEP.</p>
<p>SO AM I STILL ELGIBLE? Because there’s no SAT requirement?
Because that would make my day.</p>
<p>Sorry if this was all a bit scattered…I’m going crazy. lol</p>
<p>An opportunities program ^ No, I believe you need the SAT for HEOP application, otherwise, it doesn’t make very much sense to me. I was thinking of applying via HEOP.</p>
<p>Note there are multiple programs from NYU to provide financial aid. C-Step is basically another one which many colleges have.

<p>Yeah, I was hoping for HEOP too but my SAT score is too high. I jumped about 140 points myself, haha. </p>
<p>On the admissions website, they said that HEOP isn’t for kids who are only economically disadvantage, but more like you wouldn’t be able to get into NYU otherwise.</p>
<p>So, I called the admissions office.</p>
<p>They said there is no SAT requirement (as in SAT score range). Bimachris, I know what you mean! lol Now I’m confused whether or not I’ll be look at for it. Although financially I am, my SAT scores put me in with the rest of the NYU crowd aka not the ones who “wouldn’t be able to get into NYU otherwise.” </p>
<p>UGH, bimachris, I hear your struggle!! lol</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>Haha I know, it sucks. I was asking those same questions like three months ago. The lady at the office was nice, and she gave me her name and number so I can call back after I submitted my application so she can check if I was processed for HEOP or not. She also said if you really want HEOP, to state it on Page 7.</p>
<p>I’m not so sure now, I mean I’m hoping NYU would give me around 25G if I get in, and I’m applying to as many scholarships as I can find. In HEOP you have to take a summer course which is like 3/4 weeks, and there’s some more red tape that I don’t like.</p>
<p>that doesn’t sound very fair…</p>

<p>I noticed bimachris has asked a question there.</p>
<p>Other types of financial aid:
[NYU</a> Office of Financial Aid](<a href=“Financial Aid and Scholarships”>Financial Aid and Scholarships)
[NYU</a> > Undergraduate Admissions > Financial Aid > Scholarships](<a href=“Undergraduate Admissions”>Undergraduate Admissions)</p>
<p>Maximum NYU scholarship, according to the website, is $25,000. Still, you can pay the rest with Federal grants (ex. Pell Grant) and state assistance.</p>
<p>Haha yeah I just asked that question like a week ago. And Lastheadline, you transfered from NYU to Stony?! Why! Half my school goes to Stony lol</p>
<p>25K max only applies to merit-based scholarships, according to the site… I think need-based goes up to 30K?</p>
<p>no, i transferred from Stony to NYU. i assume you go to brooklyn tech because there are so many tech students there and you’re from nyc.
25k only applies as financial aid from NYU’s endowment. That means that’s the most you can get from NYU itself. HOWEVER, the HEOP and C-STEP program are actually government assistance so overall aid can be OVER 25K. NYU focuses more on need-based but doesnt mean it only gives out need-based aid only. i know quite some who has like 7k scholarship just for merit. in general sense, they probably meant they will give MORE to needy students and less to less needy students.</p>
<p>I go to Francis Lewis actually, it’s not specialized but it’s officially the most overcrowded school in NYC. </p>
<p>Ah okay I see. In the Financial Aid booklet that I just received from NYU, they said that the average award for incoming freshmen was $28,448! But that’s including scholarship, loan, and employment. I’m just curious how much is actual scholarship</p>
<p>who knows but NYU does know there’s a recession so they probably hand out more financial aid. they sent an e-mail to everyone saying they are cutting down things but not for cutting back but having more cash as financial aid for students</p>
<p>That’s great news! Well, not the whole recession part but yeah, haha.</p>
