<p>Hey guys,
can anyone tell me a bit about their experience with the HEOP program? Thank you.</p>
<p>The Higher Education Opportunities Program, HEOP for short is a program for students who wish to attend NYU (or any other school that offers the program, NY) but is either economically disadvantaged (poorer than the average joe)/ academically disadvantaged. I’m not sure what they mean by academically disadvantaged but since it has been proven ( I guess) that students with more money behind them have better resources and in turn, are academically advantaged, students with less money have lower chance of being …hmm…“inclined academically”. They’re proportional.</p>
<p>Who is Eligible (and all other things) can be seen here:[Higher</a> Education Opportunity Program Guideline](<a href=“http://www.heop.org/guideline]Higher”>http://www.heop.org/guideline)</p>
<p>It basically tells us the income range for what is considered “economically disadvantaged” and some other conditions as to how one might be able to qualify.</p>
<p>So those who apply and are accepted under the program are reviewed under different admissible standards and have a better chance at admission vs the regular applicant pool.</p>
