<p>The standing theory is that if your Financial Aid message says “2014 Award Access Not Available,” you are accepted. Some of the people here did some research to help solidify the theory and have not found any concrete counterexamples. Double check your message and see what it actually says. To which school did you apply?</p>
<p>I applied for Pre-med studies in CAS! NYU was one of my top choices and I applied for ED II after getting rejected from my dream school, Tufts, for ED I.
However, my parents very recently got into some financial hardships, and if I don’t receive sufficient scholarship, they will discourage me from attending… I am worried because I submitted my CSS profile late due to a complication (my mom wasn’t in the country) and now I will not receive a scholarship…</p>
<p>thank you for answering my question though! :)</p>
<p>does no FA change mean rejected? or does it mean not getting financial aid from NYU?</p>
<p>That is the question</p>
<p>@bearcatpig I didn’t apply for financial aid but mine says the whole “2014 award access not available” thing, so it might also mean some type of scholarship? I have low stats like really low so the whole “2014” thing might not be accurate, but I am applying for studio art so that might change everything?</p>
<p>Studio art is based on portfolio/talent.</p>
<p>@cschauf1 oh good, because my scores are bad! fingers crossed the the financial aid “2014” thing still means accepted even if you didn’t apply for financial aid!</p>
<p>When do decisions come out? Tomorrow? Or will they come on Friday? Sometimes they come a day early?</p>
<p>Students who applied for Early Decision II admission will receive their admissions decisions via email on Friday, February 15. In an effort to minimize disruption during the school day, we will send as many admission decisions as possible before the school day begins and after the school day ends. Still, with students applying from time zones all over the world, please understand that doing so is a challenge. While we will do everything possible to minimize disruption during the day, some messages may inevitably arrive (and be opened) at a less than ideal time.</p>
<p>According to NYU website</p>
<p>Idreamofscreen:</p>
<p>Your description of NYU’s financial aid, while accurate for those who have financial need, is not accurate for those without need.</p>
<p>For students that are in talent based programs that offer merit aid without need, that merit aid is different from the merit aid offered to those with need. </p>
<p>This merit aid is awarded from specific departments based on portfolios or audition. The merit aid generally is not above $10k per year and is awarded to RD candidates as an incentive to attend. If you do have any financial need, your award comes from a different source, even though it, too, is called merit aid.</p>
<p>@uskoolfish Are you saying that they don’t give merit scholarships to EDII applicants?</p>
<p>May luck, blessings, and happiness fall upon us all! It was fun speculating with all of you! But, we shall all charge onward to glory in 24 hours and bravely check our emails and Alberts!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>NYU is where I need to be! I’m really worried about where I stand though. I’m ranked 59 (probably changed by now, out of 360 students) and my SAT score is an 1830. I just feel like the common application didn’t give me a chance to adaquately display the depth of my extracurriculars (of which there are 9, including President if SGA, Liaison of Key Club, and Vice-President of best buddies). I feel like my essay was really solid, but ugh I don’t know. I guess we’ll just have to see. I got into the Fall semester at UMD as an instate student so I always have that to fall back on.</p>

<p>Sorry to ask, but has your financial aid year changed to 2014 on Albert?</p>
<p>Uhm, no. It’s hasn’t. Not sure if that is good or bad…?</p>
<p>so the admission decision will be emailed on friday…right?</p>
<p>One more day guys! Then Judgement Day!</p>
<p>Just saying that for those of you who get accepted, great. If you get rejected (perhaps including me?), the rejection absolutely doesn’t mean that we should feel depressed, disappointed, inferior, or whatever. We’re all great and talented, and it will merely mean that NYU is not the place for us and there are other wonderful colleges opening their doors for us. Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>Still no change. I’ve accepted rejection, but I want to finally get the email so I don’t have to have it on my mind anymore.</p>
