HELP! I applied ED NYU and now realized that I haven’t completed my Noncustodial Parent CSS Profile with my custodial parent profile and I have missed the deadline. I will need the grant to go to NYU since my family can only afford at most 30 grands for my college education. When I realized, I filled it out as soon as possible and sent them an email to explain my situation but haven’t heard anything back yet. I will try to calll them tomorrow. Is it still possible for me to get any aid?
Thank you!
Isn’t ED to NYU nuts if money is an issue?
The noncustodial parent Profile needs to be completed by the noncustodial parent, not by you (the applicant). The process for your noncustodial parent completing and submitting the form should have been initiated when you submitted the regular Profile and you provided contact info. for your noncustodial parent.
NYU is very stingy with money…anyway. The school costs more than $70,000 a year to attend, and they don’t guarantee to meet need for all students.
You say you can only pay $30,000 a year…but NYU will likely calculate that your family contribution is higher than that. You are hoping for $40,000 plus in grants.
Get on the phone with financial aid. If they say this is going to be a problem, and toy won’t get a financial aid package with your ED decision…then call admissions and switch your application to regular decision.
Actually, given your financial situation and need for a lot of money…I would suggest you switch to regular decision anyway.
And I really really hope you have some affordable colleges on your application list, and that those applications have either been submitted or are ready to submit.
If you happen to get accepted to NYU with NOT sufficient aid for your family to afford to send you…please do NOT guilt the, into paying this huge cost. Be prepared to decline the acceptance.
You missed a financial aid application deadline. That is NOT the school’s fault.
Your threads are all over the place, do you have any adults helping you through this process? Do you have safety schools that are in line with your stats and financial outlook?
Yeah. I do have some other schools for RD…the reason why I applied is I really love NYU and my parents promise me that they can afford it. But it is still a huge burden for them to pay such a high tuition and now this…I think I will switch it to RD if I can still do so. Thank you for your advice!
