@HopefulSOPH Applying ED tells them that they are your first choice, but it doesn’t indicate that you can pay full tuition. NYU is need blind unless you are applying International, and that goes for ED, EDII, and RD
@gooodonee The famed FA Change is talked about here: http://nyulocal.com/on-campus/2014/12/12/breaking-down-college-confidential/
It doesn’t seem to be a totally accurate indicator of acceptance, but I’d still like to see it! The Housing Portal change seems to be a bigger deal, but that won’t happen until closer to the 15th.
@jb2021 Oh I see it. I have it but its fke the year 2018. Does that seem right. I have 2016,2017,and 2018 in a chart in the fa page.
@gooodonee That may be the change! I’m not sure as I haven’t seen it on mine.
@emmataylor04 On the FA Change. not yet! Did it switch for you?
@jb2021 it hasnt switched for me and i was wondering what is the order that they look at canidates because some people last year changed on december 3rd @gooodonee thats the change . Congrats
@emmataylor04 I am trying not to put too much into this switch. I can’t stop checking though! So stressful!
Would you see a “financial aid change” if you didn’t apply for FA?
I have the same question. In the link above in post 61, it implies one would see it even if not applying for financial aid.
I’m not sure, but from the posts last year, seems you can have the change even if you don’t apply for FA. Either way though, doesn’t seem extremely reliable.
Apparently the order in which they look at applications is by state. Would everyone mind posting their FA Status and their state?
State: MO
FA Status: No Change
For me-
State: SC
FA Status: No Change
For someone I know-
State: CA
FA Status: Changed
State: CA
FA Status: Changed (i think)
Mines has a chart with 2016,2017, and 2018. 2018 says no self service access for this aid year. 2016 and 2017 says award access not available. can anyone confirm if this is the fa change?
@gooodonee Yes, I believe that is the change.
State: TX
FA Status: No change
State: UT
FA Status: No Change
@RedMist Im in Texas too and no change was given
MI, No change
Florida, have had change for FA for awhile now
Maine - no change
Wait i would have thougt they would be going east to west but if florida got it that may mean either people in between have already gone or its random states. Yikes
