They use CSS and are notoriously stingy. This is not the same as meeting full need according to the fafsa [/quote]

Actually, they only use CSS for freshman year and then they use Fafsa - and, for what it’s worth, I don’t know any top 30 private that meets full need based on Fafsa. My kids applied to lots of meet full need schools and got plenty of offers - not one met the Fafsa efc and not one school calculated our need the same way. (CSS doesn’t give you an Efc the way Fafsa does.). My family income was low six figures with a family size of two (single mom and kid was the youngest) and NYU gave my kid $55k in grants and scholarship money. [/quote]

Unless they reevaluate your aid package every year, that's standard because FAFSA is all that is needed for federal loans. PP posted that NYU is excited to be meeting full need, but for anyone applying the fact that it's not EFC they are meeting is important. [/quote]

Again, everyone re-evaluates their package every year but instead of relying on rumors (“they’re stingy”), I’m actually telling you my experience with family members who went there and, in both cases, they were the most generous option. [/quote]
