<p>I know how financial aid at NYU isn’t the best. </p>
<p>If you have an income of <40K how will you fare? On average what is the financial aid offered to students and does this include loans or is mainly grants? </p>
<p>Also should I not waste my time applying to NYU, and apply instead to other schools like Tufts and Dartmouth which would offer me full grants? Like I expect to receive a lot of financial aid and grants from BU and BC and if given very little from NYU I don’t think I’d like to burden myself with >150K in debt.</p>
<p>How were your financial aid packages?</p>
<p>my family income ~40k, 6 people. my results:
nyu full ride.
bc not so full, but close.
ivys not so full, but close.
*note this all includes dorm.</p>
<p>financial aid is even weirder than admissions…</p>
<p>btw tufts ended need blind admissions for the last round of thier applicants this year. If you have an income below 40K combined you should get massive grants.</p>
<p>Weird, stressedout!!! NYU only gave me like $25,000-30,000 in grants & scholarships, and then another $25,000 in work studies & loans, but BC gave me pretty close to a full ride, like only $8000 a year that I would have to pay back in loans & such.</p>
<p>I’m not sure of my family’s income but it’s pretty low, my mom has been out of work on disability for like 7years now.</p>
