<p>well NYU is my dream school but unfortunatly my freshman and sophmore years in high school were less than supportive resulting in a 88 gpa. Junior and senior year in hs gave me about a 93-94 gpa if calculated alone and I'm taking a few college credit classes this year as well. This fall I'm heading to Baruch, the question now remains, to transfer or not? After 2 years at Baruch with say a 95 average, internships, and a good amount of ECs. Do you think I can get into NYU with a fat merit scholarship, I heard they don't look at SAT grades but they were 1800 just to let you all know. Anyway, what do you think? My EFC was $17,000 so what do you think? Btw I'm going to be a finance major, and if NYU really is that stingy, what other universities would you recommend?</p>
<p>NYU isnt very generous with any sort of financial assistance. If your american, however, your internships, College GPA and ECs could get you a decent amount. Just dont expect too much. Theres nothing wrong with you. Its just how they are. Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks and yeah I’m American, what universities would you recommend though that would give me alot of money?</p>
<p>That depends on what you want to major.</p>
<p>here are schools that would give you some good money. </p>
<p>-Engineering:
*Columbia
*Cornell<br>
*MIT<br>
*Stanford
but you wanted NYU, so im going to assume you dont want engineering</p>
<p>-Pre-med:
*JHU (although, they are starting to get a bit stingy)
*Duke
*Stanford
*Cornell</p>
<p>Business/Economics:
*Yale
*MIT
*Uchic
*Carnegie Mellon
*Northwestern
*Upenn
*Stanford</p>
<p>Humanities:
*Brown
*Yale
*Columbia</p>
<p>thank you, I’m doing business/finance</p>
<p>Try for Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon and University of Chicago. The latter has, arguably, the best economics program in the country.</p>
<p>Well, I was accepted to NYU, but the school went out the window when they only gave me $10,000 and then said that they expected all of their students to pay/take out loans for about $38,000.</p>
<p>Hopefully it’s different for transfers</p>
<p>Oh, and my EFC was $17000 as well</p>
<p>Ivie’s like Cornell and Columbia don’t give out merit money only need based.</p>
<p>I’m not an economics major so Colombia is not a possibility, finance major here. Thanks for all the help. What stinks is that all my friends are going to NYU this year because their dads are millionares (Senior VP of ING, CIO of NW, VP Metlife) really annoying and I’m going to Baruch… So I really wanted to get into NYU if I could have gotten a fat scholarship… At the moment I can afford probably 15-20k a year for college at max. That’s including dorm:tuition:books so the rest comes out of loans or hopefully grants an I don’t want loans…</p>
<p>whoa. I do have a suggestion, since you want to be with your friends. NYU finance? That would be worth taking out loans. The job offers after that will enable you to pay off the loans in no time! Take loans. no worries.</p>
<p>haha yeah but I already got a job offer, I’m workingwith my uncle then eventually taking over his companies after my MBA, I really don’t want to take out loans though because I’d rather buy a jaguar XF out of college =D haha. Thanks anyways though</p>
<p>Your choice. An NYU Stern graduate is always hot on the job market though.</p>
<p>^Tell that to the many who can’t find jobs right now.</p>
