rich kids at nyu?

<p>i know nyu is notorious for not being the most generous on fin aid (but who could blame them when there are 439584795837598 ppl willing to pay full $$$).. but i was wondering if they were need-blind with fin aid during admissions..</p>

<p>like say two people with same stats but ones low income and one is pretty well off, would they take the one who could pay over the one who would need lots of aid?</p>

<p>does being wealthy help you in the process? does being poor hurt you?</p>

<p>I equate being poor with Pell Grants.........that is almost like URM. If you are a Pell Grant student many top schools would love to have you. Top scores and Pell Grant, SEOG, this is a winning combo.</p>

<p>so is nyu need blind or do they see the fin aid report before they make a decision</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure they are need blind. I got in and my mom makes close to nothing. I don't think I can go but if you think you can get the money...apply.</p>

<p>NYU is need blind.</p>
