Hi everyone!
I'm a bit confused. I turned in a LOI to NYU because I simply love everything about the school AND with my family's financial situation the free tuition would have been amazing. New York City is close to home with me and after initially receiving little to no aid from other schools I came to a decision that NYU would be my top choice. However, just recently I got a revised package from Johns Hopkins offering me a financial scholarship that I was quite frankly not expecting. Now it would cost me 68k more in the long run to go to Hopkins over NYU, but to me that was a great offer from a great school that I am honored to have received. Do people know what a policy is on withdrawing from a school before they consider waitlist if I sent an LOI, but my circumstances have changed substantially? I feel really confused right now and would appreciate any other support. I have ruled out all other schools and the only situation I am considering right now is committing at JHU vs staying on the NYU waitlist. I loved both schools, but the city and financial assistance from NYU is what put it over for me. But now that financials are relatively in the same ballpark, which is very new and unexpected information, I am now in a completely different situation. I'd appreciate any perspective and assistance on this matter
