How Accurate is NYU's Financial Aid Calculator?

So, I'm thinking about NYU, but I'm a bit stressed about the tuition costs. I've tried their financial aid calculator and got a certain amount. Does anyone know how accurate these calculators usually are?

The Net Price Calculator provided by any university, including NYU, is usually a good starting point to estimate the amount of financial aid you may receive. That said, it can't exactly predict your aid package and should be considered a rough estimate.The reason it might be an overestimate or underestimate is because it can't consider all of your individual circumstances, especially the non-financial ones. For instance, it doesn't fully account for elements in your application that could make you eligible for certain scholarships or grants. Furthermore, because it relies on the data you input, its accuracy does depend on the precision of the data. If there are discrepancies in what you input, it could create some differentiation in the accuracy of its predictions.

To get a sound assessment of what your financial aid package might look like, you may want to contact the NYU financial aid office directly. They can provide more specific and personalized information. But remember, final-decision information will only come through your official financial aid offer after you've been admitted and submitted all required information for consideration.
