I was questioning whether or not to make this post but here goes nothing!
I’m applying to NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing but I’m unsure if I should go for ED2 or RD since my standardized test scores are kinda low but I retook it in October and I’m registered for December (lol I’m desperate) and also financial aid wise I’m getting no pell grant (efc is 13k oof) and TAP I only got approved for $500 ($250 one semester and the other semester $250)

For the essay I’m writing it on AP Capstone Seminar and how it helped me get out of my shell (I used to be super shy but the class did help me with my public speaking skills and not being shy in general)
Please don’t flame me lol I’m just trying to get opinions
I know I’m not the best candidate compared to others, like I see some people on here being model un, going to the siemens competition and doing 1,000 hours of volunteering and what not.
