Re: NYU C/O 2016 Applicants Thread!!! (Woooooo!!!!!)
This is true. 10 days is not much time at all, and factor in the wait for financial aid and it's kinda ridiculous. The problem with NYU and CLS is they expect such a large number of their students to want to go no matter what and pay sticker and be wowed by the T6/best schools in NY/located in NYC prestige and QOL factors they have going for them. Unfortunately it works on most people...bailey8078 wrote:If it's not today I'm calling them. 2 business days to decide where i drop a quarter million seems rushedJamesDean1955 wrote:Today or tomorrow we should hear back, I'm calling it.fallingup wrote:YupJust wrote:financial aid, final stage of review, anyone else in the same boat?

We'll see. I'm not getting much from Penn anyway. May turn out that I'm a sucker (probably)

Eh, I wouldn't call it being a sucker. I think many, many people pay sticker at CCN (although not too sure about Chicago). I think going at sticker and committed to public interest and planning to use NYU's awesome LRAP is a great plan. Biglaw, well, depends on how long you can stay on/what your exit options are. Since I doubt I will go PI (at least at first), I personally don't think I can stomach the debt.

JamesDean - did you get a reply when you asked about the housing extension?JamesDean1955 wrote:I think I am going to send them an email asking if they could extend the housing deadline under the circumstances. I would suggest you do the same, unless you're comfortable paying sticker or forfeiting the deposit?Jacq2212 wrote:Ok, so I'm starting to look at housing, the deadline is May 15th, I know I want to go to NYU, but I was waiting to hear about finaid before I submitted my deposit and enrolled....Does anyone have any ideas on how best to negotiate this? If you accept before hearing about finaid will they not give you any?....
I don't see an alternative.

Nope - planning to call soon. Anybody else hear anything?
I would imagine they wouldn't have a problem with it. They do admit people after the deadline after all, some of whom I know of who have ended up living in the student housing. My suspicion is that it's more a priority deadline than a firm cutoff.

I talked to financial aid this morning they said that we should hear back Thursday or Friday about financial aid. I've decided against on campus housing so I didn't call them.

Thursday or Friday? Don't we have to mail the check Friday?

My bad. I guess I was just thinking when the form said "this form must be received by 5/20 they meant the physical form. Cool. I'll look for the digital version. Still an absurd turn around

Emailed them. "We will not extend deadlines but will continue to accept applications and assign residents until all spaces are filled."JamesDean1955 wrote:Nope - planning to call soon. Anybody else hear anything?

I got the same email. I just called as well to confirm - they didn't make it seem like the housing would be completely gone after the deadline, only that it will get harder and harder to get your first choice. So sign up asap basically.Just wrote:Emailed them.

I'm also in final stage of review...it's looking like we will hear tomorrow at this point. I can't imagine they would take until Thurs or Fri under the circumstances. That said, it wouldn't be the first time admissions/financial aid offices have surprised me (in a bad way lol).
ETA: Also, they said 1 BRs and studios fill up especially fast (as mentioned on the website I think).

If it was sticker NYU vs. sticker Penn I'd take NYU in a heartbeat. My scholarship at Penn makes life difficult
(but also less expensive in the end hopefully lol).
