<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I was accepted into NYU, but my scores are in the middle 50% for the school, so I received no scholarships. At all. I got $5,500 in grants and that's it...I'm out of state so I also need a dorm. I calculated I have to take out about $42k in loans a year...I'm a nursing student. So far, I have chosen not to go. My family has a super low income, so they cannot help me out. :/ the thing is, I REALLY love NYU and NYC. I know it's not a smart financial decision, but does anyone want to input their opinion? So far I have chosen to attend Minnesota - twin cities. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Sorry…more like 55k a year…</p>
<p>I agree that $42k or $55k per year is way too much. 
I’m sorry NYU didn’t work; it happens a lot.</p>
<p>WAIT.
Call up the financial aid office and ask if they could re-review your financial aid package!
I was in the same situation as you, but I called yesterday (as a glimmer of hope came over me) and asked if they could review it… so…, I longed on this morning and they offered me $40,000 is scholarships!
I was so happy! Who knows?! It may work for you, too. Don’t give up just yet.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Did we have to show them our tax return forms?</p>
<p>I only got loans, LOL. Like 3,000 for work study and the rest is loans. I was expecting so much more because my mom’s single and she has no income.</p>
<p>^
You should have gotten a lot more then… I would definitely call the financial aid office as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Check your Financial To Do List on Albert first though, you may be missing an essential document…</p>
<p>That’s exactly what happened to me at first. But like I said, just call up and have them review for FA packet and they should let you know within a week, or sooner, (I knew the next day.)</p>
<p>Omg, thank you for telling me or else I would have never known. How much aid should I be getting? I also got a scholarship for BU, can I appeal with that as well? It’s not even that much, and BU can’t really equate to NYU…</p>
