Assuming I got into NYU and my FEC is 0, what do you think a good prediction of my financial aid would be? I talked a girl this week who said her financial situation was similar to mine but her GPA was lower and she got a 29 on the ACT and she received a 30,000 scholarship. I've also talked to a bunch of people through social media who got an MLK scholarship or CAS scholarship, and I'm wondering if anyone with one of those thinks they would consider me a good contender (especially if I wrote an essay centering around my volunteer work).
The net price calculator has my final price as 18k, which is basically only room/board.
If you guys need some more info to make a good prediction, feel free to ask. I've read that NYU meets ~75% of need on average, with financial aid nearing 35k on average.
Please don't leave rude or condescending comments, or talk down on me for trying to get something out of a "stingy school." I've been berated on CC before for asking some simple questions, so please just try to help in any way if you can!
