International student at a CC transfer

Hi It is my first post on College Confidential.

I am from France and currently applying as a transfer to NYU. I am at a community college in NYC.
I called NYU and the lady told me that I need 2 letter of recommendation, translation of my French high school transcript, the TOEFL (passing it March 10) and a letter from my counselor.
I do not have a SAT since I am international student. My GPA is currently 3.788 and will be 3.89 after this semester (assuming I have all As). My transcript is mainly As but I had a F due to a teacher not letting make up two exams due to health issues (I am still mad about it), I retook the class and got an A.

  1. Do you think me being an international student (= paying more tuition to the school) gives me an advantage as a transfer ?
  2. Do you think I have a chance to get accepted based on my GPA ? My TOEFL score should be high as I am fluent in English by now.

NYU is my dream school and I literally came to the USA to get in that school.

Thanks to all
