You can definitely still negotiate with most schools after deposit deadlines (not sure about NYU specifically--sorry!)

I kinda doubt NYU would match your Michigan offer, but I could see it being worth a bump. I think if you can get that price tag at NYU under $200k it becomes a much more attractive option. Then again, if you can use an increased NYU offer to get Michigan to bump you up and bring the COA below $100k, I would still say take that.

Wow, I didn't even think of that!

Would you suggest giving NYU a number I feel comfortable with, or should I just express financial concerns and present Michigan's offer and hope for the best?

I wouldn't give them a number. That seems off putting to me. Just tell them you're very interested in attending, but have financial concerns, and present Michigan's offer with a request that they reconsider theirs.

Good luck!
