financial aid for new york residents

Lying on your applications is not something you should be considering. In this day and age, it is very easy to verify whether information is fact…or a huge lie. Colleges frown on dishonesty. The frown even more on dishonesty that results in financial gain for the student.

If you plan to be dishonest on your applications, I would suggest you reconsider whether you are really suited for a college education…anywhere.

Now…regarding your question. If you don’t live in NY state, you can’t get NY state aid…period. Your other threads indicate you are living abroad, which makes you ineligible…as Sybbie pointed out.

NYU is $70,000 a year, and their need based aid is not assured. George Washington is come to or at the same price. I doubt you will get significant aid from them either.

OSU and Purdue will be close to $45,000 a year. You are OOS for both, and likely will not get significant aid there either.

If you need significant financial aid…you need a different list of colleges.

Your current GPA would make me question acceptance to some of these schools. It sounds like you have a downward grade trend…and schools are not looking for students who do worse every year of HS.
