Is NYU a reasonable school for me to shoot for?

<p>I am a very good student...I am in 10th grade. I am currently getting all A's and I am in Model U.N also I partake in the French Club and once I am able to get my drivers license I will be volunteering at my local hospital because I want to be an ER Doctor when I am older. I am a very gifted writer and reader I easily breeze through subjects such as english and history without even studying. I have recently decided I would like the attend NYU I think I have a fair chance of getting in there. I am in all college bound classes with the exception of math with I am not that great at. But I do plan on taking an SAT prep course soon and I plan to be in all Honors/ AP next year. Also this summer I am taking part in "The National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine" and I plan to study abroad in Europe next year. Also I hear that NYU bases a lot off of your entrance essay which is a huge bonus for me. I love New York City and NYU is a top notch school where I hope to major in Pre-Med then hopefully get into their medical school. Will I have a good chance at getting in?????</p>

<p>High grades, test scores, etc. will get you in. But can you pay for it?</p>

<p>Do you need significant financial aid? If so, then NYU should be considered a reach due to its reputation of poor financial aid.</p>

<p>That’s a really important question. NYU is very expensive and notoriously poor with financial aid. Medical school is also very expensive, and most medical students whose families can’t just write a check have to borrow heavily to pay for medical school. Can you and your family afford to spend half a million dollars on your post-secondary education?</p>
