<p>Does checking off you need financial aid increase/decrease chance of getting in? (Stern in particular)</p>
<p>No. Unless you are an ainternational student.</p>
<p>Most schools do say that they are need-blind meaning that having need is not considered when making a decision. I personally believe that holds true for Stern, but some say that Stern does look at whether or not you are applying for FA in its decision</p>
<p>Not sure why it wouldn’t. International students who dont need aid are better off than those who do, considering their stats are equally as good.</p>
<p>Yes actually, most of the other people here are wrong. NYU is a need-aware college and financial aid will be a consideration in their decisions.</p>
