<p>What are my chances?</p>
<p>Also if I EDII I can always reject it if I don't get enough aid right? I only have one parent who works and the other is unemployed. I am still debating between EDII and RD and the pros and cons</p>
<p>You look like a strong applicant to me although I don’t feel very qualified to chance you as i’m only applying now myself haha. Anyway, in regards to EDII vs. RD, my opinion is that if NYU is your absolute top choice and the only thing that is stopping you from applying EDII is the money, just apply EDII. You can decline the offer if finances don’t work out, but you should be prepared as to what that financial aid package might look like (Fill out you FAFSA, CSS Profile etc.) and look at past financial aid packages from other ccers. Just my 2 cents lol</p>
<p>Keep in mind as well that applying ED and knowing that NYU doesn’t give amazing financial aid will make you look bad if you end up trying to withdraw. Schools on the Common App are able to see what other schools you have applied to and what decision type based off the common app. </p>
<p>I am not sure. TBH, I believe it comes down to the situation. I know there are cases where college credit gets rejected and places where it gets accepted.</p>
<p>Your best bet, if you get admitted, is to email your admissions rep for your area and ask them if they will take whatever credits you have gotten from your courses.</p>
<p>You look like a very strong applicant, certainly stronger than myself. </p>
<p>I’ve heard a few stories of people who are able to wiggle there way out of the commitment… but that’s always a sticky situation. Then again… just remember Early Decision is not a legally binding contract… so there is always someway out one way or another.</p>
