ED1 Strategic Leverage Points

  • 📌 Binding Advantage: ED1 offers highest statistical yield protection; admissions gives maximum benefit of doubt on border scores.
  • 🎯 Testing Choice: Your SAT (1520) aligns comfortably with Stern's 25th-75th percentile; recommended to submit.
  • ✍️ "Why NYU" Fit: Cite specific faculty, NYU NYC immersion programs, and academic institutes to avoid sounding generic.

Financial Aid & Binding Realities

  • 💡 NYU Promise: Free tuition for families making under $100,000/yr with typical assets (meets 100% demonstrated need).
  • ⚠️ Net Price Calculator: Run NYU's NPC before applying ED1. The binding agreement can only be broken for documented financial shortfall.
  • 📅 Key Deadlines: Common App due Nov 1. CSS Profile & FAFSA due Nov 15. Decision notification: Dec 15.
