@HERCULES_HERCULES Click on “view my financial aid summary” link on the main Albert portal page. Good luck!
did anyone get waitlisted for liberal studies, or just denied?
@jalapeno99 Psych in CAS but I may change to bio!
Hey guys, so I really have no ‘updates’ to add to my waitlist form. I mean it’s only been a little over 2 months since I submitted the app and my A levels are in like 40 days so I did not have anything else going on, do I just leave it blank?
For what it’s worth to future applicants, re portal changes (I enjoyed that fun; apologies to those who didn’t):
S applied and was accepted RD.
Re the “View My Financial Aid” screen: he never had any portal changes at all. The portal only changed an hour after decisions were released and his financial aid was posted.
Re the housing portal: initially it just said “Summer” with NYC and Abu Dhabi (he didn’t apply to Abu Dhabi). Shortly after the EDII round was done, the portal added Wa DC and London to “Summer,” and added “Academic Year 2018/2019.” If he clicked the “access application” link next to “Academic Year 2018/2019,” it led to a screen with a pretty picture of the NYU skyline and the message “you have been redirected to this page because you do not have authority.” Then a day before decisions were released, it changed to a totally different screen with no pretty picture that said “Application and Payment Status” at the top with the message “you can’t currently access this section.”
NOTE: all parts of the housing portal always said “non-renewable undergraduate.” Those words never changed, even after decisions were released. In fact, those words are still there under “Academic Year 2018/2019.”
Re NYU Life (clicking on the torch in the main Albert Screen), I noticed a tile for “campus cash and meal plans” cropped up a week or two before decisions. I don’t know if this popped up for everyone or not.
Finally, I agree with a prior poster that the decisions were released exactly one week after the final email from NYU updating everyone on their plans for releasing decisions. (FYI - They originally stated April 1, then a few days before decisions were released it switched to on or before April 1, then on the day of release they Tweeted “today!”)
I was accepted to Tandon for Mechanical Engineering. They gave me a 44k scholarship which I wasn’t expecting at all
I was accepted to Tisch with a $37k scholarship! So excited 
I got accepted! But does anyone else’s financial aid say “Account inquiry denied”? I am so confuseddddd
Mine says that @gpop123. Call the financial aid office something is probably went wrong. They said I’ll be good in a couple of days. Good Luck!
dang all these big scholarships make my 25k scholarship feel like nothing lmao
do scholarship amounts change with every aid year? or do I just have wishful thinking lol
I got into Tandon but can I switch into cas? if so will my financial aid change? for the better?
@mehdikamal I wanna switch to CAS too but I heard it’s really difficult, what’s your major?
@mehdikamal I heard it’s hard to switch to cas
CAS is the easiest school to switch to you just need to submit your stats after a semester
I just found out today that I got accepted to the Honors Program for the Tandon School of Engineering, but NYU is not giving me any scholarship money. My parents said the most they’d be willing to spend is 50k a year, so I’d need an 18k scholarship at least. Is there a possibility that I would receive financial aid if I asked for it? Is it more likely that the issue is my application not being impressive enough or rather that we’re not low income enough? UC Irvine was higher on my list before, but now that I’ve gotten into the Honors Program at NYU I’m not so sure.
^^^ would love some information on how to appeal for money from NYU
@ucAdmirer if they didn’t give you any aid before than I highly doubt that NYU will give you $18,000. They may offer you $1,000 or $2,000, maybe even $3,000 but $18k is a far stretch. It seems that NYU likes to give money based on merit more than need. Some people have said that NYU gives a lot of money to the students who they want more, while others get left at the bottom of the pile. What we’re your stats like, and what’s your race/ethnicity because I think that those are both factors.
It’s crazy to me that with a published 19% acceptance rate at the NY campus this year, there’s still a “slowest tier.” Geez. :0
Ha ha ha ha ha. I meant “lowest.” Auto-corrected!
