I’m not familiar with Dickinson or Gettysburg. For Conn College I know they are test optional so if I were you I wouldn’t submit your SAT scores. That would increase your chances. I think it would be a low reach/high match. NYU is a reach with your test scores but not impossible. Good Luck!

if you’re looking for need based financial aid, NYU is not by any standard the best place to look… they are also pretty competitive, so it would be a reach school. However, I know there are many other well-respected/prestigious LACs in the New England-ish area that meet close if not 100% of need. (Bates, Franklin and Marshall, Mount Holyoke to name a few)
