@collegefreaks I don’t know who told you that NYU-poly has a 75% admissions rate, but if you or someone that you know is applying on that basis, they are going to be in for a world of disappointment.
Op, if your parents are not physically living in NYS, you will not be eligible for NYS TAP. If you are not physically attending school in NYS and graduating from a NYS school, you will not be eligible for the scholarships from the HESC link that BelknapPoint provided.
