[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS accepted to both. No SAT - 30 ACT with 3.6 UW GPA. [/quote]

Was this early decision admit, pp? Curious because I have a ds who wants to attend NYU with 1390 sat and 3.7 uw gpa but can’t do early decision.[/quote]

Yes - ED to NYU (Tisch). Unfortunately had to decline due to finances - their package was all loans. Things worked out as he is happy where he landed. Good luck to you and your son.[/quote]

Stupid. Why do ED if you can’t pay?[/quote]

Because you can decline if the financial aid is insufficient.

Believe it or not, there are students who are not fullpay who are admitted to, and attend expensive schools on financial aid.[/quote]

Choose a college that defines its success in terms of student's success, the one that is willing to invest in student's education.  No college - not even NYU - is worth $70,000+ per year in various loans.  That's $280,000+ in 4 years.  And if the student doesn't graduate in 4 years, another $70,000+ per year for every year beyond 4.  [/quote]

PP here and I completely agree.  I would never send my kid to a school like NYU for those reasons.

I'm referring to the comment that PP should not have applied ED because they need FA.  People who need FA can and do apply to schools ED, and that is just fine, because students who need FA can also go to expensive private schools if they can make the money work t odo so.[/quote]
