<p>Why does this say "around" and "no idea?" Are you just guessing about these scores? If you haven't actually taken the tests yet, don't assume your scores.</p>

<p>NYU does not give need-based aid to internationals.</p>

4

<p>matth is right. If you are not an American citizen, you will pay full sticker price, unless you can get scholarships from an outside source.</p>

5

<p>i don't think any college gives aid to internationals, but you may qualify for scholarship. If you are really interested in attending, apply early</p>

<p>legionaire, that's not true. Many colleges give aid to internationals but NYU is one which doesn't. There are a few merit scholarships which are available but they are for the very top international applicants, so most will not receive merit aid either.</p>

7

<p>NYU doesn't give much need-based aid at all, but matth is right...there is much less merit money devoted to int'l applicants</p>

<p>oh ok, I thought that if you were an international you should pretty expect to cover all expenses. no federal aid for sure, i think</p>
