@lz57c4 Blanket statements really can be misleading.

It’s true that NYU meets 67.4% of need on average. But NYU awards more $ to students they really want. Since studio art is a portfolio based program, money is also awarded through the art department for talent. Some of D’s friends got excellent packages that met a lot more of their need than that average.

Additionally, if one does not qualify for financial aid, NYU grants awards for talent in music and art that is pure merit aid. One D received no $ from Barnard, but $11k a year from NYU.

NYU was the cheaper choice for us. Everyone’s circumstance and outcome are different. I would apply and see what happens if NYU is a top choice.
