The dreaded package

<p>hey guys i received an unexpected acceptance to NYU CAS and the only question is whether i can afford to pay for NYU. my EFC according to fafsa is 0 thats right zero. i am not dorming at nyu, so what do you think my package is going to look like.</p>

<p>whew, going to NYU is expensive mostly bc they mostly dont fill the all gap between efc and cost of attendance, also NYC is expensive in itself so unless you live around NYC mostly expect the same costs...</p>

<p>As for your actually question about what to expect, I really have no idea, but im sure some people here do, hope you the best and hope that fin aid package is 100% for you, bc I know how it feels to get accepted somewhere with efc 0 and not being able to attend</p>

<p>According to USnews, NYU meets 66% of need. I wish I had better news. Of course you will be eligible for Pell and SEOG and TAP (if instate), but even if you got the max on all of them you'd still be short about 20K, and it doesn't look like it will be forthcoming from NYU.</p>
