Anyone know if "please note that scholarships will be awarded only to those who qualify for financial need-based funding" is actually true based on past years, even after negotiation? I like NYU and all, but have merit aid at CC and couldn't justify attending without some money.
While there was no merit aid reported on LSN last year, there were reports of it in the c/o 2019 thread. There are also reports on LSN for the previous years off the WL

So you've got hope! That being said, NYU isn't known for giving HUGE amount of merit aid (outside of their named, full ride scholarships).
