NYU Med, Class of 2013!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
yeah, i only got loans too. ugh. and i am pretty sure they never told us to submit that tax info, but maybe i was just being negligent.

Members don't see this ad.
 
Where did you see your packages? I want to see mine.

yeah I'm sure they never told me to submit it. I asked them repeatedly if anything besides the FAFSA was necessary, and it was never emailed or sent in the letter. Sigh.

It turns out I still need to send them a copy of my tax returns as well.
 
i think we all need to... Did you guys get anything in the mail about financial aid since the initial letter giving us our id's?

Nope that is all I got, then again I haven't sent them tax forms.
 
i guess im just antsy.. lol

At least you did not sent your FAFSA stuff to the wrong NYU school code and now have to wait even longer to see your aid package.

I guess that I should follow directions better (but come on. why isn't the NYU Med School code used for the NYU Med School, haha).

same here. Likely withdrawing :(

Good luck everyone :luck:

Unfortunately I'm thinking about that too. Prices of nyc + private school tuition may be too overwhelming. :idea:

did toher schools really give you much better aid? the only other fin aid package I got was from downstate and it wasnt better ...
 
Do we need to accept these amounts right now? without necessarily committing?

The same holds true for me

question for NYU students (or anyone who knows): In the letter from NYU they said that we will need to provide ourselves with a stethoscope, medical tuning fork and something else i think. I want to get my stethoscope kind of early so Im wondering if there is any discount when you buy it at the school store during orientation or anything of that nature?

no rush on your steth... they have some during orientation week that are cheaper( think its a lithman or soemthing) and I have used mine a total of one time - and that was being vain and seeing how it looked with my white coat. cya all at second look :)
 
Has anyone received any more news about second look? Where to meet for dinner? What restaurants we have be assigned to? It starts in two days and I want to know when to leave work Thurs evening.
Can't wait to meet you all!
 
oh nyu, why are you so ungenerous with financial aid???? :(
I won't be going to second look. Everyone else, have fun!!! NYU is a great school... expensive, but great.
 
i havent received anything either about second look.. :(
 
finally got something about second look! lol see whoever's coming tomorrow at 630ish!! :)
 
revisit was awesome!!!!! and so was blockheads :)
 
Alright, I was thinking about withdrawing because of cost, but that revisit convinced me otherwise. I think I'm nyc bound. :thumbup:

Aside from that, anyone have any insights on this direct loan business? I know we got an email about it this morning, but I'm still a bit confused. Is this going on at every medical school or just NYU?
 
Oh, anyone else by chance going to loan out their entire education? I am and I feel all by myself here...:(

me too...and financial aid told me that less than 25% of students at nyu get scholarships so unless parents are funding everyone else, looks like we'll all be in debt.

I am pretty sure they had an African American and Latino social gathering the Friday night of second look, so that could be what she was referring to.

i didnt get to go to second look. did they mention what our class schedule will be like next yr?
 
I didnt get to go to second look either. Did they give you guys any cool stuff? Or more info packets about NYU? Alon said he would be sending me some info, but I have yet to receive anything...

I was just wondering this. I really don't want to put up with communal bathrooms and a closet in Rubin, but it looks like that's the only thing I can do with a measly 10,000 a year for housing in the budget.

well you can do that, or I heard there is a beautiful alley nearby with top-notch cardboard boxes... this tuition is going to sting.
 
Do you guys know when the deadline is for submitting the housing app and deposit?
 
I am not sure, but the first year that gave me a tour of Rubin during second look told me that those who submit their housing forms first are more likely to receive their first choice.
 
hey i hope everyone enjoyed the second look. btw. does anyone know if theres a deadline to accept our financial aid package?
 
Hey guys, I didn't get to go to second look...did you get to see a match list for this year? If you did, how does it look?

i dont remember where i put it, but i seemto remember it looking pretty excellent. but it was all either east coast with heavy density in NY, PA, and around or California. There were very few if any people who went anywhere in the rest of the country, if that matters to you.
