<p>Thanks a lot for your help, I really do appreciate it … but c’mon you don’t have too call them ■■■■■■■… I know a couple LSP students that are very intelligent.</p>
<p>Since they are guaranteed a space in the school they originally applied (as long as GPA is good) I highly doubt NYU would accept “■■■■■■■”</p>
<p>What has happened, Jackhammer? You seem to have turned on NYU and have this attitude of negativity and anger? I admire you for sticking with this thread and I think you have tried hard to give sound advice and have succeeded. But in the last few weeks in particular, you seem to harbor a resentful attitude and you have said things that can be biting and cause others to feel hurt. (And paint NYU in a different light than you did in the past.)</p>
<p>Hope things are okay with you!</p>
<p>Does nyu have alot of parties</p>
<p>Sent from my LS670 using CC</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the help. I also want to ask, what is nyu looking for in an admissions essay? Like I honestly don’t know what to write about myself. Like I want to sound like I fit in to the school (because from everything I know, I definitely do, which is why it’s my top choice) And is it at all possible to know which essays on the application are more important than others? And i’m looking at the website for material, but I don’t want to be trite. Any tips, advice, more help? :)</p>
<p>–And also, how am I supposed to pay for this school? Where do i even get scholarships and grants, etc? How are you paying for it all? How do I know when to resort to private loans? And how bad does nyu financial get? I know they give out horrible aid, but just how horrid is it?</p>
<p>If you have to worry about aid, there’s a big chance you’ll not be able to go to NYU because of terrible aid or graduate with a 300k loan.</p>
<p>I know, that’s a major problem. can you explain to me, in numbers perhaps, just how god awful the aid is?</p>

<p>Again, I call it as I see it. </p>

<p>I don’t mean to offend anyone with my posts. If I have, it’s not anything personal against NYU. I like NYU. Maybe I’ve been a little too blunt. Part of it is me being a little peeved at all these chance questions, yet like a moron I continue to answer them.</p>
<p>I just think in the beginning I painted too rosy a picture and with kids starting to apply, if I’m going to continue this thread I might as well give full transparency. As a parent you probably understand the sacrifices a lot of people take to come here. With a lot of kids struggling to decide whether to come to NYU and the financial burden involved, it’s best to give them an honest opinion.</p>
<p>@Ohsodope2013</p>
<p>Yes, it’s NYC. But probably nothing like the ride you’d experience at a Big 10 or ACC school. Girls, parties, frats, tailgating. NYU has none of that.</p>

<p>Admissions essay: As a female (which I hope you are…
I’d try and show some passion you have. Can’t think of anything that an NYU admissions counselor would like better than another passionate, career-minded female. </p>
<p>In terms of payment, my parents foot the bill, so I never went through the whole FA process. Some of my smartest friends got basically nothing in FA. We’re talking like a few grand. Private loans have the power to charge a really high rate of interest, so it’s best if you avoid those. Apply for every scholarship and grant you see. It’ll increase your chances of get one, two, or maybe a few.</p>
<p>Like I echoed before, the more I’ve thought about it, the more I believe that it’s not worth it to take substantial loans out to come here. Unless you want to work at Goldman Sachs, where you go to college really doesn’t make that much of a difference. It goes without saying, if you’re an English major, you probably shouldn’t be taking out more than 50k in loans. Now if your a Finance major, that’s a different story, but still I wouldn’t recommend it.</p>
<p>Hi! So I applied to a bunch of work study jobs through the wasserman website and I haven’t gotten any replies but it’s been more than two weeks… Is this normal at all? LOL idk i am starting to feel like something’s wrong</p>
<p>I have a lot of experience with Wasserman, but not work-study jobs. It is my understanding, however, that between applying for a work-study job and starting it, the time period is not that short. A couple of my friends who do work-study say that they try to place you into a job tailored to your interest or skills, so that may be what the wait is about. I’d take a quick walk down to the Wasserman Center and ask someone at the front desk. They’ll know much more.</p>
<p>Haha well… I’m a male (sorry 
to disappoint). But I do have my passions and I am very career minded and also focused on my education. I’m not completely certain, but I think I want to work as a Lobbyist, Lawyer, politician, or probably go into finance, or economics-- that’s my pool of career interests. My parents are willing to pay only $10,000… OUCH! so that’s just not good. I’m planning on doing work study and take out federal loans, but I still need 40 grand a year… so yeah. What did some of your smartest friends wind up doing? if they went to NYU, how did they manage to pay?</p>
<p>Current NYU Sternies, Could you please chance me? :<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1391835-nyu-stern-ed-chances.html#post14846228[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1391835-nyu-stern-ed-chances.html#post14846228</a></p>
<p>Thanks so much.</p>
<p>@jsn2594</p>
<p>Ok. So you’re a male. Same rules apply. Essays don’t tend to do too much, unless the admissions officer interprets them as outstanding. That’s kind of hard to do in the 250-300 words they give you. Not to say it can’t be done, but just show them some passion and reason why NYU is your school. </p>
<p>At $10,000 a year, I wouldn’t advise coming here. Apply here regular decision, but I’d focus more on upper-echelon state schools. In today’s economy, the loans are just too much. Imagine graduating and realizing that you can’t spend however you want and a decent chunk of all your meager checks go towards those student loans. Unless you want to go into a high-salary field like finance, where the compensation justifies student loans, I’d avoid ruining your good years. Anyway you’ll get better girls, better parties, and a college campus for much cheaper. </p>

<p>Here we go again with this crap. Never mention that you’re a Chinese male. That can only hurt you in admissions. You have good scores, but I don’t really get those GPA numbers to be honest. Weighted, it looks decent and unweighted it’s ok. I’d say you have a good chance when I look at the whole picture, but don’t be surprised if you don’t get in.</p>
<p>Hi, if i want to major in math, which college would you recommend me to apply</p>
<p>and also if NYU offers me a horrible financial aid, how can I deny their offer and cancel the bondage? (im doing ED) is it a troublesome?</p>
<p>If you do get accepted in ED, you are allowed to turn it down if you cannot meet the financial cost of attending the college. You will not be penalised in any form, no worries.</p>
<p>@justin401lu</p>
<p>It depends. Do you want to double major in anything? If you just want to do math then apply to CAS. If you want to double in something like Finance or Computer Science, then you’d pick Stern or CAS, respectively. </p>
<p>I’ve know a couple kids who’ve gotten out of an ED bind because of poor FA, but call NYU’s Financial Aid office because every situation is so personal.</p>
<p>so i was going to apply ED1 but i actually went to NYU a few weeks back and now i’m a but nervous over the school and if i should even apply ED1 because of all of the financial stuff. i know its a bit personal, but what is the amount of money that your parents paid for yearly tuition/ housing per year? we got a paper from NYU that said that they gave out an average of $26,000 in financial aid but i dont seem to believe that especially because of many of the complaints ive heard with financial aid at NYU. what is the total you pay yearly? i just want to know because ive never had a real NYU student tell me these details and i want to make the right choice with applying</p>
<p>The following is from NYU website
[Freshman</a> Applicants](<a href=“First-Year Applicants”>First-Year Applicants)</p>
<p>“Students will only be released from the Early Decision agreement if their estimated
financial aid package does not enable them to attend. Students must be aware that applying Early Decision will not enable them to compare financial aid packages from other universities. If comparing financial aid packages will be necessary for a student, the
student should apply under our Regular Decision program. NYU will still reserve the majority of our admission offers for students applying for Regular Decision, so students
should not feel pressure to apply Early Decision if finances are of concern.”</p>
<p>If I get accepted to CAS with average stats and my income is >$30,000, my attendance will depend on the amount of financial aid they give me. Do you think it is worth applying? Or is it really that difficult to receive a substantial amount of aid</p>
<p>Also, if I get into CAS for Economics Major, is it truly difficult to find careers afterwards since all the recruiters lurk around Stern students?</p>
