<p>whoa.. how much was scholarship, and how much was need-based?
congratulations! thats amazing!!</p>
<p>25k was the most they gave i thought</p>
<p>25k is the most they give for merit.</p>
<p>Correct, the 25K is the max for merit aid. Need based aid can be a full scholarship if you qualify.</p>

<p>I was very excited to be accepted.</p>
<p>it was a hell of a stretch for me to pay for NYU, but I got accepted to Oberlin (the suburban Lib Arts college version NYU I'd always say), same tuition just about. I thought I'd have no choice but the big public university down the road anyhow..........</p>
<p>sarah<em>in</em>a_cup.. How do you have a 99+ UNWEIGHTED average? Seriously.</p>
<p>that 32k full tuition is all scholarship, except for 4000 in work study.</p>
<p>Which is why I now have a broken hand lol.</p>
