<p>So I know that NYU is apparently terrible with financial aid, but I'm hoping that I'll get enough money to attend next year. Does anyone know what type of packages are typical? Mostly loans, grants, etc? My EFC is about $12,000 but really I just need the cost of attendance to be less than 30K for me to be able to attend. Is this realistic?</p>
<p>You'll get your aid package early in April. Good Luck. You can write or call about an appeal. I wrote and appealed last year and got a slight increase.</p>
