I originally tried to apply ED2 to NYU, but then, I realized that NYU’s financial aid is usually insufficient. So I decided to just apply as an RD applicant. (I haven’t submitted my common app yet) However, I already submitted my CSS profile to NYU and indicated that I am applying as an early decision applicant. I wonder if telling the admission officers that I am changing to RD will hurt my admission chances. Would it be okay if I tell them that NYU is my first choice but I am changing to RD due to my financial situations?
That is fine.
