<p>HI. I have a just below average GPA at a prestigious HS in NYC but I can probably get in NYU EA II. I want to apply to the Stern school of business. How much FA will I get in total? My father is unemployed and my mother earns like 18k a year. My parents are willing to pay about 15k a year. Is that possible?
How does EFC affect how much they give me?
Also, I really want to stay in NYC. I am going to live at home.</p>
<p>NYU is renowned for giving bad aid and a ton of loans to low income students.</p>
<p>Apply be all means. But make sure you apply to some more affordable schools that you can afford if NYU offers you $30-40,000 a year of loans (yes, we have seen low income 0 EFC students posting aid from NYU with that level of loans).</p>
<p>Baruch will be MUCH more affordable for you and is respected for business.</p>

<p>???</p>
<p>Apply, but realize that NYU won’t likely be affordable…they give terrible aid and your stats aren’t high enough for merit or preferential packaging for FA.</p>
