cpaxton Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 No aid for me. Congrats to anyone who did receive aid! Are any of you attending the admitted students week events?
policyapplicant Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 No aid here either. Makes the decision easy!
Tinaway Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 I applied by the 1 December deadline for the EMPA. Found out I'd a place on 2 March and found out today that I didn't receive any aid. I'm an African with several years experience in public policy. I didn't submit my WES or TOEFL scores even thought I'm an international student.
misuny Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) I’m in (yay!), but no aid for me either. I knew Wagner was known for being sparse with aid, but zero funding is harsh. Still, being able to work while attending part time leans things a little towards Wagner. NY is expensive, though. What to doooo Wondering if it’s worth making the trip out for admit activities. I live in LA and would lump the trip with a visit to another school that will reimburse some of my travel. Anybody have any wisdom on how useful admit days are? Edited March 3, 2018 by misuny

Did you also get the check back in scholarship form? If you did, are you planning to fill it in?
Tk2356 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) I'll be at the admitted student's day, and will be sure to relay my impressions here. It'd be nice to link up with any fellow gradcafers who can make it! Edited March 3, 2018 by Tk2356
gelatinskeleton Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 No funding, which probably means NYU is out for me. Congrats to those who did!

Iblit Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) No aid, but i did complete the check back form and ask for money...a LOT. its necessary if im gonna make this place possible unfortunately. Edited March 4, 2018 by Iblit Tinaway 1
tristatequeen Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Where is this check back form? @Iblit Ellen123 and cpaxton 2
bumblybee Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 I got 30% tuition; I'm super grateful but NYU still seems prohibitively expensive. :/

Also, as far as I can gauge, NYU tuition depends on the number of credits in a certain course. That makes courses like MSPP pretty costly.
brown queer Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Hey! Did anyone here get an email from an NYU professor too? I got one & was just wondering if that’s a thing

The e-mail referenced my personal statement so it was refreshing to see that they didn't just send a mass e-mail.

Mine also referenced the application meticulously, and was appreciative in general which was refreshing. No aid is still a bummer, so I’ll have to pass.

I totally feel you! I actually read the (uplifting) email & part of me just went “Aww” while the other part was like: “All that is nice, Sir, but I’d have preferred if you’d given me aid instead...”

tristatequeen Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 @misuny I reached out to financial aid and based on my appeal letter they sent me the check back form. The only problem with the check back form for NYU is that if they provide you with aid you have up to 3 days to accept or define the offer. I'm waiting on a few more decisions so I have to wait to fill out the form.
nycpolicy Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 For those going to the admitted day activities, is there anything planned on the 19th and 20th of March? The initial letter mentioned 19-23 March but the sign up page has no activities for the first two days. I need to plan my travel accordingly so wondering if there is something different for 19-20 that I didn't receive.
misuny Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 @tristatequeen thanks so much for the info! @aaprabhakar I didn't see anything planned for the 19th or 20th (a typo, maybe?), although I guess you could technically do things like visit classes, chat with a student, etc. during that time.
nycpolicy Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 @misuny I am assuming those are self driven activities and not part of any official agenda right? I will be able to stay on in NYC for a few extra days and plan to do those activities then..
