<p>My financial aid award from NYU is horrendous...even with an EFC of around 7.1k.</p>
<p>Estimated NY State TAP - 500.00
LSP Scholarship - 7,500.00
LSP Eckhouse Scholarship - 6,000.00
Federal Work Study - 0.00
Federal Perkins Loan - 0.00
Stafford Loan 1 - 0.00
Unsubsidized Loan 1 - 0.00
Federal PLUS Loan 1 - 0.00
Aid Year Totals - 14,000.00</p>
<p>(these are the accepted amounts)</p>
<p>I'm not sure if it is worth it to attend NYU because, basically, NYU expects me to somehow pull 50k out of my ass each year. Thanks NYU.</p>
<p>That’s unfortunate. However, I believe there will be a general consensus urging you to look elsewhere. No school, NYU or otherwise, is worth that much debt.</p>
<p>Yeah, as BillyMc said: attending NYU isn’t worth it if you can’t afford it. There are tons of great schools that won’t put you in debt until you’re middle-aged.</p>
<p>Either Stony Brook University (for regular pre-med) or Shepherd University (for an 8 year B.S./M.D. program…I still have to interview at the medical school which I am doing tomorrow). I’m alright with Stony Brook, but it would be great if Shepherd would accept me into their B.S./M.D. program.</p>
