<p>Hey guys.!
I am planning to apply for CAS in NYU.
NYU has been my idol univ. since I enrolled middle school.
well it's a long story.</p>

<p>Anyways,
I'm getting worried about all those expensive tuitions.
And I don't want to rely on my parents after the graduation since
it costs too much. (Also, I have a little brother who's looking forward to Oxford. Their tuition was pretty expensive too.(Dang it!))</p>

<p>How do you guys manage your finances?
Are getting full scholarships or financial aids easy in NYU?
Is this stat safe or satisfactory for CAS? (m800; cr700; wr760)
I'm sorry for asking so many questions but i'm getting tired.</p>

<p>P.S.
Is premed in NYU competitive to get in?
...just wondering.</p>

<p>1) yes, the stat is good, but thats hardly enough to go on. there are way more factors than an sat score that go into a college decision.</p>

<p>2) no nyu apparently gives really crappy financial aid/scholarships. but if youre amazing you might get the 25k cas scholarship. you will not get a full scholarship.</p>

<p>3) everything at nyu is competitive. but again, you only gave us one stat to look at.</p>

<p>Go to fastweb .com. There's information about different scholarships. Now, none of these are NYU-specific... but it's helpful.</p>

<p>Your SAT scores look great for NYU... But what about your GPA? That's very important for NYU. At least, it is according to their website.</p>

<p>Dude, If you can't make money in New York City something is SERIOUSLY wrong.</p>

<p>It's worth it to apply, at least. I have the same situation as you, my sister is already in college and my mother just graduated from nursing school; they don't have money to give me. But, I did get a scholarship from CAS and as long as you spend a lot of time applying for LOTS of local scholarships, I think it's possible. Plus, student loans don't have to be paid back until after you graduate and they have a low interest rate. And you also go to college assuming that you will graduate with a degree that allows you to get a job that will then pay enough to stipend the cost of your education.</p>

<p>Although I can't make a qualified judgment especially just from your SATs, that score is EXTREMELY competitive for CAS and I think you will safely qualify for the Presidential Honors Program. As far as I know, people in this program have 100% of his or her need covered (doesn't say officially, but most of my friends in this program seem to have it that way).</p>
