@phillipols Same here. Financial aid for 2019 status shows “inquiry access denied”. It probably means they are still reviewing it. I have sent an email to them in case there is some problem with my CSS profile.
@somewheretoeverywhere I am an international student too. I can’t access my financial aid information yet. When did you have access to your financial aid information? was it with admission decision or later?
i got deferred as well … it sucks

@Star3Lord It was up on Albert in the View My Financial Aid Summary link. I accessed it a couple of minutes after the decision came out. I got my decision letter at exactly 3 PM EST so around then.
Deferred people:WHATS OUR CHANCES?
I am an international applicant accepted to ED2 in Engineering? I did submit my CSS profile but i haven’t received any financial aid/scholarship info yet. Anyone else facing the same problem?
For those been accepted did you guys get decent aid or scholarships? if yes how much?
@17hi09 My case is similar: accepted into CAS for computer science but not received any information regarding financial aid. Financial aid summary shows “Inquiry access denied”.
@Star3Lord Same here. But do you know what it means? i wrote to their admissions office asking about it but i still haven’t gotten a reply.
@Star3Lord @“Vishwaraj Yadav”
Yes its says “Inquiry access denied” for me as well. I called NYU on 16th Feb and they told that they are still in the process of determining that and it will take 2-3 days.
Its still not there on 20th and early decision people need to confirm enrollment by March 1. They cant just give hardly one week to decide. I find it unfair.
@17hi09 You might ask for an extension because of the delay, but remember that you’ve already decided as an ED candidate! From an ED school’s perspective, you should not be comparing packages and you signed an agreement to attend and to withdraw from other schools once accepted.
@Star3Lord True. ED students international or not, should be told about their financial aid along with their decision so that they have more time to decide.
Was anyone actually rejected from the NYU Game Center? I applied really hoping to get in but realistically expecting to get rejected (1.7 GPA and only 10th grade level high school education) and yet I got deferred. I was applying strictly on my portfolio, which is strong, but even my essays fell flat. I’m happily surprised I didn’t get flat out rejected as I am likely I’m the lowest GPA student applying this decision. I knew nothing about college before this process and was surprised to hear that even 3.5 gpa students had to worry about their grades preventing them from getting into college.
Obviously the game center isn’t Harvard Law and you don’t need a 4.4 to get in, but what gives? How am I deferred? Was anyone rejected? I assume they didn’t get around to looking at my stuff yet and they deferred to meet their deadline. Anyway, I’m content. Just curious.
@17hi09 @“Vishwaraj Yadav” I know the wait is long and we are all anxious to get our financial aid information but actually we don’t need much time to decide about admission offer after we get the aid info because we signed ED II agreement. And ED II means NYU is your first choice among all the colleges you have applied right now. If you are able to afford NYU you go otherwise you don’t. It’s simple actually.
I think we will all get financial aid info latest by 25th Feb 2018. That leaves you 4-5 days to decide.
Good luck !
anyone get in for engineering, if so do you mind posting your stats
Engineering major here!
My stats:
ACT: 30 Math - 28, English - 29, Science - 29, Reading - 34
GPA: 3.674
Rank: 45/463
@Star3Lord I called NYU today and somehow they told me i was not checked in for financial aid decisions and they asked me to call back in 3-5 business days. So i guess you guys should check in once too cz we only have 5 business days left.NYU is not going to do stuff on saturday and sundays.
@17hi09 Does your financial aid status show received in the to do list?
Is scholarship and financial aid one and the same. I have received scholarship but it does not meet my financial need. NYU is my dream school and its getting tough for me to decide.
@Apk1010 Stats?
