My parents want me to live with them forever. They have been trying to bribe me to stay at home for the longest time. I am an only child.
Poor thing, we can switch places if you want.

Wow, congratulations...where your stats over AA21? how they decided on scholarship? based on financial needs or academic performance?
Purely merit. I have a 26 AA and a 4.0.
I know that later on if I put down the fee I may qualify for a financial need scholarship since I do recieve TAP. I need to call and ask before I make my final decision.
omg me too..........glitch.............gives me shiver =_=................
Was it regular snail mail or UPS?
I just checked my regular mail box and nothing there. UPS didn't come yet.
regular mail. big white envelope.
omg..... Nooooooo!!!!
didn't this happen last year?
it did?
You can't listen to what people write on this site. I feel like some people just want to scare future pre-dents. You guys are all in, relax. Good luck!
yep. just got it today
Long Island, NY. got mine today! no scholarship though 🙁 Maybe enough people will turn theirs down haha. I still have an interview left at my state school anyways 🙂
just got my waitlist letter just now.
Did u get an email as well? If so what did it say?
No email, just snail mail waitlist letter.
It said it was based soley on merit. I have a 4.0 gpa and a 26. I think 3.9+ and 22+ makes you stand out for one of these scholarships.
Haha, yours is definitely merit 😛 With those stats, you deserve a full ride (if such a thing existed, ehh). Congrats!!
Thanks! I probably will decline the offer, though. One of you lucky future NYU students can get it 😀
Although you probably don't know the answer, would you speculate that when people such as yourself decline the acceptance so therefore also the scholarship that it could then go to students who have already received their packages? I'm noticing that alot of people with the top stats tend to decline in favor of state schools, so im just crossing my fingers that somehow itll trickle down to those of us with 'above average' but not top stats. maybe it's just wishful thinking?
I think that it does actually. I heard from this site that some people recieve schoalrship award letters in January. Most of us to chose state schools because even with an 80K scholarship over the course of 4 years, we still would be spending more money on tuition, which would accrue interest. I sure hope it does go to you hardworking inviduals! You above average people ought to be rewarded. 😛
I completely understand why people choose state schools if possible! I have an interview with UB in a few weeks, and if I get it it's definitely the smarter financial choice. It's just tough because I totally fell in love with NYU at the interview. However, I won't count any chickens before they hatch--if I don't get into UB, there wont be any decision to make 🙂
Out of curiosity, where are you headed if you don't mind me asking? 😀
I have noticed that a lot of people will be declining nyu. Is that decision purely based financials for most? I sure thought the facility and everything was wonderful, but the price not so much of course!
I did like NYU as well! I liked the lobby and the fast-paced environment.
I was thinking probably Stony Brook. It is $100,000 cheaper than NYU and other private schools. It is pretty hard to get into.
When I shadowed, the dentist I was assisting told me she wanted to go to Stony brook but she didn't get in so she went to NYU. She pretty much instilled in me a desire to go there.
I still don't know though, I also liked UConn a lot. I hate making life altering decisions. 🙂
Decision making is coming up 🙂 Stony Brook still your top pick? It's crazy that deposits are due in about 3 weeks!
UConn. Students seemed more happy and the clinic/facilities were way nicer.
If you have no intentions of OMFS, just go to Stony Brook. You could still do OMFS there as well but it's just more appropriate to go to UConn for OMFS because of their MD curriculum.
Is there anyone who has not received the package yet? I haven't. I am wondering if I should call the admission's office.
i think its 20 k per year..which is pretty significant
It is only significant if you aren't considering state schools. The scholarship makes the cost of attending NYU appoximately 8K more than state schools, so it really isn't much.
