<p>Looks like you’re about in the middle of the mid 50s. So, you have a good chance. I would apply early…that will increase your chances.</p>

<p>Will your parents pay full freight to either schools? If not, take NYU off your list. It gives lousy aid. Fordham gives some aid, but not great aid, either - it will also gap you… However, if your parents will pay $50k+ per year than great!</p>
