<p>The usual, very driven, good leadership qualities,</p>

<p>I got into Northeastern but due to financial reasons, I couldn't attend.</p>

<p>looking at top tier schools....</p>

<p>looking at
NYU</p>

<p>HELP! (Seriously)</p>

2

<p>isn’t NYU more expensive than Northeastern? plus there’s little financial aid. when there is financial aid, you still have to take out loans.</p>

3

<p>Mathy has a point. If you can’t afford Northeastern it will be even harder to afford NYU. Perhaps if you are a NY or NYC resident and going through HEOP. Otherwise …</p>

4

<p>I have scholarships and stuff to pay for the potential difference. But price tag aside, I wanna know my chances.</p>

5

<p>Sure then when you get accepted you will decline again for financial reasons. What’s the point?</p>

6

<p>How about we don’t tear me down financially, thanks. I can pay for an NYU education.</p>

7

<p>But you said yourself:</p>

<p>“I got into Northeastern but due to financial reasons, I couldn’t attend.”</p>

<p>To which we replied:</p>

<p>“If you can’t afford Northeastern; you won’t be able to afford NYU”</p>

<p>Then on your 9-28-2009 post:</p>

<p>SAT’s: CR:650
Writing:670
Math: 670
ACT: 30</p>

<p>That’s an incredible 310 point increase from 1680 to 1990</p>

<p>Yeah! I took tutoring classes for my SAT’s/ACT because I have testing issues.</p>

10

<p>maybe he took the SAT again…
to OP, It depends on which school you apply to.
you have no shot at stern and its a very high reach for CAS.</p>

11

<p>I would apply to the CAS for History or Journalism, I am still torn. :)</p>

12

<p>just apply and see what happens. transfers do get financial aid but I warn you there are loans. it’s better to have a state school and a safety private school (due to the recession, more people are going to state and city schools like SUNY and CUNY respectively) for backup after community college.</p>

<p>You can’t major in journalism alone. Journalism majors are required to have a second major as well.</p>
