OMG!!! I’m in Stern!!!</p>

I was accepted ED to Dartmouth College and I remember calling up NYU saying I would like to withdraw my application. I’m sorry if I took someone’s spot, but NYU messed this one up. :(</p>

<p>Accepted! College of Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>I’m from Malaysia, by the way.</p>
<p>Accepted to Gallatin!
but financial aid was a bummer-probably won’t be able to go.</p>
<p>does anyone know where to find the tuition&fees for next yr?</p>
<p>fengyun,</p>
<p>No one has it yet because the increases will still have to go through the NYU Board.</p>
<p>Normally, each year, there is a 3-5% increase in tuition and fees, housing cost and meal plan.</p>
<p>Only 2010-2011 tuition and fees are available for now. 2011-2012 rates will probably not be finalized until June or July (if I recall correctly). Here is the 2010-2011 rates and you can estimate for 2011-2012 by adding 3-5% to the overall cost.</p>
