<p>My mom is pestering me about handing in my application to NYU and others before thanksgiving because the HR department has to file and send in the Tuition Exchange if I DO get into that school. My chances are kinda slim for NYU but she's been rushing me with application. I don't want to talk to her because she's so annoying :( about it so I turned to the internet. Can someone give me the breakdown on how to fill the tuition exchange thing? Thank you! Im the first child to apply to college as she went to school in another country and doesn't believe anything I have to say.. Cheers</p>
<p>The only thing I know:
1. If I get accepted to a university that participates in Tuition Exchange I either get 50%-100% tuition exchanged.
2. Does the person handling the tuition exchange see my common app application?</p>
<p>You can find out which schools participate at tuitionexchange.org online. NYU is not on the list from what I can see. Check with your mother’s employer right away about their deadlines. I had to give my employer the list of schools my daughter is applying to by Nov 1st. She did not have to apply to the schools by then, but she has completed all of her applications now. If you missed the deadline at your mother’s employer, see if they will still let you apply. Mine let me add two schools after the deadline. Once your mother’s employer says you qualify, look for schools you would like to attend at the tuition exchange site. You can see what percentage of applicants get the scholarships. Many schools treat these as merit scholarships, but some try to accommodate all applicants. Do your applications as soon as possible. You may want to talk with the tuition exchange rep at your mother’s school to learn more about the program. You could also contact the person at the school you want to attend. The website lists the contacts. Your high school counselor might also be helpful. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Correction to my post above: Polytechnic Institute of NYU is listed in tuition exchange, with 10% if applicants getting tuition exchange. Perhaps that’s the part of NYU you want.</p>
