<p>Hi I was wondering How much do most people get on their Merit Scholarships? Also, How hard is it to get a Full-Ride to NYU Stern. Last Question, If I apply for Early Decision, Do I have a better chance to get a Merit Based Scholarship? Thanks</p>
<p>Full-ride anythings don't exist at NYU. Of course, you can get a "full-ride" by combining outside scholarships with NYU's merit scholarships, but NYU isn't going to give you $32k.</p>
<p>If money is an issue for you, DO NOT APPLY ED. By applying ED, you're telling NYU, "Money is an issue for me - if you take me and give me no money at all, I'll still come!" Applying ED is a contract, and it's a bad idea to breach that. Since NYU essentially accepts the same percentage of ED and RD candidates, I'd say your chances are no better by applying ED.</p>
<p>saying that ur chances are no better applying ED is wrong</p>
<p>Admissions Statistics
Number of Applications: 33,721
Percent Offered Admission: 29.7%
Number of Early Decision Applications: 3,275
Early Decision % of Class: 29.3%
Number of New Freshmen: 4,250</p>
<p>if you do all the cross multiplying and stuff it comes out to be 38% of ED applicants get in..and the overall is 29% which means that regular decision is even less than 29%</p>
<p>There's no data anywhere about % of EDers vs. RDers getting merit scholarships..you can get merit scholarships either way</p>
<p>i recall reading somewhere (not reading on a random board, but reading from an nyu publication) that nyu gives out merit scholarships on pretty much a rolling basis, which means that your chances of getting a scholarship are higher if you apply ED. however, if you apply ED and are accepted but not offered a merit scholarship, you still have to attend.
on the other hand, if you apply ed and dont get a scholarship, you wouldnt have gotten one rd. but if you apply rd and dont get one, you might have gotten it ed.</p>
<p>and nyu only gives merit scholarships of 1000-25000. these scholarships are renewable so long as you meet some base requirements. so if you get a 25000 scholarship and tuition is 32000, youre pretty close to a free ride (tuition-wise)</p>
<p>thats answers all three of your questions, sorry i was so lengthy but im trying to be very clear because of the conflicting responses already given</p>
<p>how much would they give for national merit if NYU was the first choice school?</p>
<p>Does anyone have a link to all of the undergraduate merit scholarships? Does anyone know of any in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies for undergrads?</p>
<p>It seems like it would make more sense for NYU to offer it's more generous merit-based scholarships to extremely qualified RD applicants in order to lure them away from other schools. Where did you hear/read that they award them on a rolling basis?</p>
<p>vbmaxx2:
A full ride from Stern based on merit is almost impossible. You can get up to $20k or so from the school, then combine with outside scholarships (since the school doesn't take away from the aid they've already given you). HOWEVER, I believe they only give out need-based scholarships. I got a decent scholarship from Stern, but it was almost exactly the amount of tuition the FAFSA EFC didn't cover.</p>

Those are the numbers for admittance, but I believe shades_children meant scholarship chances. Some people have also made the argument that the difference in acceptance rates are just due to better candidates applying ED.</p>
<p>faithful101:
They only give like $1000 a year or something for Natl Merit, and if you get a Natl Merit Scholarship, NYU won't give you anything.</p>
<p>QNYergrl:
I'm under the impression that there aren't any merit scholarships you can apply for. NYU just looks at your application and assigns scholarships accordingly. You don't have any control over it.</p>
