no financial aid freshmen year

Paying for College
1

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I am going to NYU CAS in fall 2013. I submitted my CSS late and as a result didn't receive any financial aid (neither merit nor need-based). I am able to pay full but like every sane human being, Id rather not. I was wondering if I may be able to receive aid sophomore year assuming I do well in college so that I can get merit and perhaps need-based. I am fairly well off so I don't think I'll be able to get much need-based aid. Any insight would be appreciated. Please take into account that its nyu. Thank you.</p>

<p>Most merit aid is reserved for incoming freshmen.</p>

<p>You should be able to look on the NYU website and see if they offer merit aid to continuing students, either university-wide or through academic departments. Of course, even if they do, that means it’s a possibility, but far from a likely source of funding your education.</p>

<p>Do you know what your EFC was? </p>

<p>This should tell you if you would have qualified for any need based aid which from what I hear is not good at NYU to begin with.</p>
