What kinds of students get good financial aid at NYU?

[vonlost]

<p>hot, NYU determines aid by FAFSA formula and merit subjectively (i.e., it’s hard to know in advance what they will offer, and gapping is common). If you are accepted ED but they don’t offer enough to support attendance, you just tell them thanks but no thanks (NYU is quite used to this!) and apply RD elsewhere.</p>

<p>Here’s the Common App financial aid ED rule:

Should a student who applies for financial aid not be offered an award that makes attendance possible, the student may decline the offer of admission and be released from the Early Decision commitment.
