@TexasBelle428 - Excellent choices. As a very wise young lady mentioned on another thread “Time to focus on options vs. preferences”. You love the school that loves you the most and then bloom where you are planted. Congratulations and Good Luck to you.

Pretty good Why NYU
Extremely excited about the options that I have right now! Don’t know whether I’m going to NYU yet though (50/50 right now)
Got into Stern with $40K Racoosin Scholarship. Does Dean’s Scholarship have to do with the major? Also, does the Room and Board Estimates of $19K a year including meal plan?
Bottom line of all these top schools are trying to make money. They should set a quota of how many applications they would accept and review for acceptance of 4000 seats instead of rejecting over 80,000 applications. All they did was to whine that they got too many applications for limited seats. All is a scam. Never fall for RD again and waste your money !!!
@jentam -I didn’t allow my daughter to apply ED anywhere because I needed to compare offers. Yes, finances is a consideration and we are not eligible for much in the way of financial aid. It’s always a risk that they will get rejected which is important to keep expectations in check. My daughter had really great options and chose safety, match and reach schools that she could be happy at. Life is full of disappointments, it’s how we manage that disappointment that is telling. Unfortunately, many are experiencing disappointment for the first time in their lives through this process because this process is truly out of their hands. I’m not sure how colleges could even manage limiting applications,
@IKCheese My daughter will be attending NYU this fall.
I was very impressed with NYU’s quick actions evacuating the dorms back in early-mid March, which makes me believe NYU will take appropriate actions if NYU is not ready to receive students this fall.
For that matter, it would not be just NYC problem if covid-19 does not clear up by this summer, as most of universities have students coming from everywhere.
