<p>Hello, I was wondering if NYU knows whether or not you've applied for financial aid when reviewing your application. More specifically, will the admissions committee give any consideration to the fact that i don't need any financial aid at all? I know it's not exactly written anywhere, but when it comes down to it I think that since it's a private school, money probably does play a role in things such as admissions decisions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I really don't know, but it can't hurt NOT to need financial aid. They ask that you submit a FASFA early, but I would, if I were running the university, take someone with no financial aid need, so I could balance that out someone with extreme need. Actually, I think, that since you don't need financial aid, you would get accepted easier than someone that might need lots of aid, JMO,</p>
<p>they claim that financial aid is NOT taken into consideration during the admissions process. but then again, thats what they claim. haha</p>
