How much financial aid did you get?

<p>VanessaAnne, how did you appeal? Was there a certain process you had to go through? I'd really love to know, thanks.</p>

<p>is it odd to not have gotten it yet? i applied RD, but my friend ED didnt get his package either. he called them and they said, "in 2 more weeks..." i thought that was odd</p>

<p>umm my mom did my appeal, but im pretty sure all she did was send them a letter explaining our need for more financial aid. she included the financial aid packages offered to me from other schools so that nyu would realize they were being cheap. i also got a full ride to northeastern so my mom attached that letter too. but we did this all before i had said i was attending nyu, in hopes that they would give me more money so that i would choose to go to nyu. they only gave me $2k more, but hey thats better than nothing. i appealed my financial iad packages at boston u, nyu and carnegie mellon, but nyu was the only school that actually gave me more money</p>

<p>that's interesting, thanks!</p>

<p>no prob, i think they usually are willing to adjust your financial aid package if another school gave you a better package.</p>
