What kinds of people get a scholarship to NYU?

<p>What GPA/SAT scores do you need to have?</p>

<p>I think it's based more on your extracurricular achievements. Although I wouldn't expect too much :[</p>

<p>Really? idk, I was just wondering.</p>

<p>We had one last year. Top 20 out of about 600 students. That would be a GPA of around 5.6 on a 5.0 scale. He was a 4 year choir student and in the musicals.</p>

<p>really REALLY smart kids. one of my best friends from hs got a really nice scholarship and FA at NYU. he had like a 4.5/4.0 (4.65 is the highest you could go at my HS and that was if you skipped lunch jr/sr year to take extra APs which some kids did). national merit scholar and top 10% of our class (the only rank we had). not many ECs though, never did sports or got involved in any clubs except NHS and spanish honor society. but he did work a bunch and alwas had to babysit his younger sister.</p>

<p>oh, and hes in stern at NYU. thats probably why i said really really smart kids because its a lot harder to get into stern and more "intense" then the rest of NYU</p>

<p>NMS students get scholarships there.</p>

<p>NYU offers very little financial aid. My Mom's friend's son was valedictorian and received very little aid.</p>

<p>You only get $1000 for national merit</p>
