<p>Do the majority of people that go to NYU get really good scholarships, or are they rich? Sorry if it's a rude question, I'm just really curious = )</p>
<p>I think it’s both. NYU needs rich kids who can pay full tuition so they can give good scholarships to poor people like me. 
lmao</p>
<p>a lot of people take out loans.</p>
<p>but there ARE some rich kids here.</p>
<p>NYU pays my tuition because one of my parents teaches in the School of Medicine.</p>
<p>I’m international so my poor parents would have to fork out money to people like Chris. :p</p>
<p>That’s right!</p>
<p>Parents pay for all of it out of pocket. They paid for my brother out of pocket for the past 4 years at Stern, now they’ll pay for me for 4 years at Stern!</p>
<p>im on the same boat as sillyworld :)</p>
<p>Chris, I’m afraid I might have to strangle you when I see your around NYU. Haha.</p>
<p>You’ll never find me! 
Ninja status yo.</p>
<p>Prostitution.</p>
<p>You really need to be either extremely poor or extremely rich to go. NYU is super stingy with the scholarships and only take the FAFSA which basically means you are either going to get government money (at at time like this? HA) or they are going to give you scholarships. The financial aid packet they give you is basically a student loans packet…</p>
<p>We are not rich and we are not poor, but we pay our share of tuition with money we have managed to save over the years along with student loans and the very small scholarship my daughter receives. Somehow the way the scholarships work at NYU in MHO is really unfair to many people. The middle of the road people are the ones who suffer the most with financial aid. So yes, you have to be really rich or poor to get a pass/go at NYU.</p>
<p>How much is considered extremely rich? $200,000/year for a typical family of 4 (with no other students in college)?</p>
<p>my mom mentioned loans. which really scares me.</p>
<p>ps. i think 200,000 would be considered (maybe upper) middle-class. 50,000 is still 1/4 of that paycheck.</p>
<p>$200,000 is way above middle class. thats a lot,especially with no other kids in college.</p>
<p>$200k is definitely upper middle class, with or without kids in college. </p>
<p>I happen to be lucky, my brother graduates from NYU this spring and I’ll probably be entering in the fall. Continuous cycle, no overlap.</p>
<p>200,000 is only rich relative to where you live. In NY, it is a typical salary of 2 working parents who might be teachers, nurses, policemen. Not rich people by any standard. Cost of living in NY is high. Take the same people and put them in Middle America and their salaries may be 80,000 combined. It all relative.</p>
<p>So what is “extremely rich” then? Trust fund kids with parents that are VPs of companies, or do doctors’ kids from the midwest count as well?</p>
<p>i don’t think it matters, if your parents don’t make bare minimum then you’re not going to get very much finansh aid (i don’t think).</p>
<p>ehh it depends. I remember my brother got $10k his freshman year from stern, and we’re considered to be in a higher income bracket ($150k+).</p>
