Anyone still waiting for an admission decision? I got admitted to NYUSH but I still haven’t gotten a decision on NYUNY.
@peachy101 haha u can only get admitted into one campus sorry man
@peachy101 yeah, like @sourc888 said, they consider you for all the campuses that you expressed interest in but if 1. They feel like you are a better fit at a different campus or 2. They just deny you from your first choice, then they will reevaluate you for the second and then third choice
@“SliceItOrNot?” did you got in…?
If you were admitted to NYUSH then that’s all. It means you didn’t get NYUNY.
Does anyone know how to appeal the financial aid package? I got around $30k for Gallatin, but it is not enough considering my financial status.
Waitlisted for NYU Tandon, I am going to write what they wanted for the waitlist form but even if I do get accepted on the waitlist, they probably will not give enough money and I won’t go.
@collegebound478 NYU Tisch is the only film school I applied to actually lol!
Very proud of my daughter of making in the 18% but most likely not attend due to high tuition cost
@collegebound478 where did you get $80k from? Although NYU is expensive, it’s definitely not that high.
@SoCratz last year NYU estimated the cost to be $72k but that’s because they added in al the extra costs. The actual COA needed up being $68464. Although it’s stull expensive the cost will not be $75k.
@Agrarius congrats on your acceptance. The $38k covers tuition and is renewable as long as you family income doesn’t increase drastically. When estimating your cost remove every charge you see on the website and only add in the tuition and fees and meal plan, and room and board. The travel expenses and books are extra. But for room and board you will not know exactly what the cost will be until you get your housing assignment. Our COA last year was $68464. Next year estimated cost isnt as bad either.
To anyone concerned about COA: NYU’s actual tuition for 2017/18 was about 50,000. The cost of attendance factors in things like room and board, books, and “other fees.” My sister is currently a junior there and a good chunk of the other 20,000 can be reduced by buying books secondhand, not buying the most expensive meal plan/dorm or living off campus, and not using the NYU student health insurance (in order to do this you need to make sure that the plan that you intend to substitute is accepted by the school but it can knock off 2000-4000 a year). COA is estimated. Not everyone is going to be paying 80k to attend every year and that’s important to remember. Obviously NYU is a very expensive school but if you really have your heart set on NYU look into ways to get your COA down!
https://www.nyu.edu/admissions/financial-aid-and-scholarships/tuitiongeneral.html This link includes a breakdown of what NYU includes in their COA and it’s very easy to see where you can save.
@VANYU2021Mom Thanks:) 70k is just scary…but after that breakdown it actually looks quite affordable 
@Agrarius trust me I know. They also offer monthly payment plans. If you decide to go you can also go for the low cost housing to help with the cost. My daughter didn’t check it and ended up with a double with one roommate. Good luck.
@VANYU2021Mom wow, quick reply. Sure, now I know there’s more I can do about the COA:) I might as well start looking at housing options and meal plans
@Agrarius feel free to message me with any questions. Rubin is the cheapest but it doesn’t have A/C.
@VANYU2021Mom hello, I was planning on living at Rubin since it’s so much cheaper but only freshmen can live there right? So as a sophomore I can’t live in Rubin?
Not as a sophomore sorry.
The following apartment style housing are the cheapest for the year:
Lafayette Hall, Clark Hall $11504.00
Second street (cheapest) $10,880.00
If you’re in Tandon then Othmer Hall (Brooklyn) is the cheapest at $9564.00
Thank you! Still deciding whether to commit or not. I got a 20k scholarship but it is not enough, unfortunately…
My parents can pay around 30k per year so I was wondering if graduating with more than 100k in loans is a good decision or not?
