Wow didn’t think I’d make in actually. A lot of my friends who had higher avg’s and SAT’s didn’t. Well i’m happy, but NYU has such bad financial aid. They’re expecting me to take out 20k in student loans -______-</p>

<p>Well I’ll talk to them over the weekend about it and hopefully get a better deal. If I can’t afford it, then hopefully I have U of Chicago.</p>

34

<p>Haha necro your almost exactly like me. I got a 1480 sat too, went to the US open last summer, and got UChic coming in on friday. Kind of weird lol.</p>

35

<p>You have to Withdraw your applications…</p>

36

<p>nope, not as of yet. It states it such on the ed agreement. Your allowed to keep your other decisions if you weren’t offered the a suitable amount for the financial aid.</p>
