Ask questions about NYU!

<p>Hello!
Thank you for answering my previous question.
I’m not sure if you’re answering anymore questions but just in case…
I am very curious about the actual cost of NYU. How much in total would you say you’ve spent in the last year?
(Tuition + fees, books, insurance, meal plan + housing, and any other miscellaneous expenses like dining out, entertainment, and transportation)</p>

<p>I’m pretty much solely depending on scholarships and my parents are unable contribute anything other than airfare.
(I’m from out of state) This basically means, I have some extreme penny pinching to do throughout all of college and I’d like to know if I’ll be able to live comfortably within my means if I want to go out with friends and explore NYC.</p>

<p>Much appreciated! :)</p>

<p>Hi!
I’m curious about the average SAT scores and GPA for students who got accepted to the nursing program. Is it more competitive to get into than the other school? And is it worth going to NYU nursing rather than other nursing programs in other school?</p>

NYU is quite an expensive school (~65000+ a year), and NYC is an expensive city. It’s definitely doable–I recommend getting a babysitting job. You can work 2-3 times a week, and in the city you’ll get paid$15+ an hour. But you definitely have to watch your budget while living here!</p>

I’m not sure about admissions questions, but the stats can be found online. </p>

<p>Hi, thanks for creating this thread, i just want ask that for i was deferred by the Stern in ED1, can i continue apply to other schools, such as CAS or Tisch in ED2?
Thank you very much</p>

<p>When do regular decision candidates usually send their SAT scores? Collegeboard’s website says Jan 1st, but does it mean we send our scores by Jan 1st, or send it earlier so that they receive it by then?</p>

<p>I am a senior and I am applying regular decision. I have a 3.74 GPA and a 32 ACT composite. My parents are both doctors so we are relatively wealthy, but will NYU still give some financial aid, with some meaning at most 20K/year and at least 9K/year? Do most students in my range get this amount of money? Thanks!</p>

<p>Students whose parents are wealthy can expect no financial aid from NYU–nor from any other school for that matter. The only exception is if you qualify for merit aid that is not based on need. NYU has some merit aid, but it is limited to the highest level student either academically or in terms of talent (ie, art and music.) Your stats do not seem to be of that caliber–meaning they offer these merit scholarships to students who have real ivy potential, but might chose NYU with a good offer.</p>

<p>I know that the traditional Nursing program for freshmens select around 60 applicants. Is this with the Global program, or does NYU select a seperate group of people for the Global nursing program?</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the average sat for stern really is? I know they say 1450 (out of 1600), but I just don’t know if that is true.</p>

<p>@SenZuo admissions questions can all be answered on the NYU website or by calling the admissions office.</p>

<p>@SameerHussain‌ usually that means they want to have received the scores by Jan 1, I think.</p>

<p>@falcons237‌ Financial Aid at NYU is notoriously low. I can’t tell you what your individual experience would be like; my advice is to apply and hope for the best, but have back-ups that you know will work financially in case things don’t work out. Best of luck!</p>

<p>@anonye‌ I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about the nursing program! </p>

<p>@bobcat97 Average SAT scores and GPA can usually be found on collegeboard, the university’s website, or other similar resources. I wouldn’t be surprised if the average Stern SAT was higher than the average NYU SAT score.</p>

<p>How does housing work for freshman? Do most students get their first or second choice? Did they put kids in temporary hotels again this year?</p>

<p>Is there another thread that I can post my housing question?</p>

<p>londondad: accepted freshmen get to rank each of the 7(?) freshman dorms in terms of preference, and that ranking is what’s used to decide housing. Freshmen can also apply for themed floors or the residential college by filling out a short application, and if they do that, then those applications take precedence over the ranking. Whether students get their first or second or third etc choice really depends on how popular the dorms that they listed are. Some are historically more popular (Hayden), and those tend to get more students ranking them higher. This year they did have students in hotels, but they almost always put upperclassmen in hotels and take room in upperclassmen housing for freshmen. This year was a little different in that upperclassmen could actually pick one of three hotels instead of a regular dorm if they wanted to during regular housing selection.</p>

<p>Thanks, Jazzcatastrophe. One last question: are all the 7 dorms in Lower Manhattan and/or within reasonable walking distance of NYU?</p>

<p>Yes, all the freshmen dorm are the closest to where classes are. Some are nearer to Union Square. Others are nearer to Washington Square. You should be no more than a 10 or 15 minute walk to most classes.</p>

<p>Most students who were placed in the hotels–as a result of Hayden being renovated–were study abroad students (upperclassmen) who would be in the hotel for just one semester and would study abroad the other semester. They were given incentives to have this housing arrangement like early registration, metro cards, etc.</p>
