Can afford it but would prefer aid ( atleast 20k)</p>

<p>More importantly, should I apply ED2 or RD ? Because I’d gladly accept NYU as my first choice, but at the same time I have other colleges that I equally would love to get into like USC , Purdue, UMich. I need to make a clear decision over the next month.
Advice needed, thanks</p>

<p>If it’s your clear first choice - go for ED2. It helps with admissions, and you could possible get more aid. I say do ED2!</p>
