Is NYU early decision binding?

Question

I’m thinking about applying to NYU early decision, but I keep seeing different explanations of what that actually means. I want to know whether I’d be committed to attend if I’m accepted, or if it works differently from regular early action.

Accepted Answer

Yes, NYU Early Decision is binding. If you apply ED and are admitted, you are expected to enroll and withdraw your other college applications, as long as NYU’s financial aid offer is reasonably sufficient. NYU offers Early Decision I and Early Decision II, and both are binding commitments. NYU does not have a non-binding Early Action plan.

If cost is a concern, you can still apply ED and then compare the aid package, since the binding commitment is generally contingent on financial need being met.
