@ridingthewave your son has fabulous choices, he can’t go wrong with any of those - well done to him! Seems he mainly needs to choose what he wants to focus in to make the decision.
Thank you! His dream job will be either Wall Street or Wealth Management, he will probably go to Stern then apply graduate school in the West Coast as he really like California when we visited school last summer.
it is need and merit mixed. undisclosed the percentage from each, that is a nyu secret. that will be your only aid from nyu, there is no more.

Hi! I luckily got waitlisted at NYU but also at a few others. NYU is my second choice of my waitlisted schools. At my first-choice waitlisted school, I would only have 5 days to reply to my offer, if I am granted admission. However, if NYU gets back to me before my top choice, how long would I have to think about accepting the offer, if admitted?

found out that my son is not admitted to CAS (as posted previously) but Liberal Studies Core, however seems that can still connect to CAS in Jr year.
Better off, got 22K scholarship which is pretty good.
FYI NYU released the class of 2024 stats (on Instagram, I presume also on the website). Admit rate 15%, median admitted SAT 1500. Congratulations to those admitted!
