Finacila Aid

I heard that NYU doesn’t give much financial aid, even to low-income people. Is this true? If Financial Aid is a concern should I be applying Regular instead of Early? Also applying regular won’t hurt my chances than applying early, right?

Based on posts here on CC it appears that NYU is not generous with aid for middle class applicants who are not exceptional academically.

If you apply early and the aid isn’t satisfactory, you have an out. But for heaven’s sake, you run the NPC first, for any college target. You get all your ducks lined up…or don’t apply early.

NYU seems to give decent aid on some odd, unpredictable basis.
