@kaylani45 if you are admitted and there is an issue with your aid details, you can contact the FA office to correct it and to see if it changes what they can offer you. (They may require you to correct it on the FAFSA website itself.)
Re the comment above about need blind, remember that very few schools are both need blind and meet full need - all need blind means is that they do not take your aid need into account when they admit you. NYU is clear that they generally do not meet full need, so yes a school can be both need blind and expensive…
Re the comment about CSS. In my understanding CSS needs to be filled in to get institutional aid (NYU aid as opposed to federal aid). The bulk of any need based aid, and any merit aid, will need CSS. If you just filled in FAFSA i think you can still get federal aid (federal loans, grants and work study).

in junior year my gpa went from 92.63 to 94.21

Your details seem great to me. I would personally be surprised if you did not at least have a good chance of getting in, but then again, these are words from another teenager so
Hey! I go to a public HS on the east coast I applied ED with similar stats, I think you have a really god shot. Side note: I’m also jewish and I speak Russian my parents are from the Soviet Union (Ukraine). I’d love to get in touch if we get in!
i’d wait until decisions come out. there’s a rly good chance that they’ll be able to make changes to your fafsa/fa package after you get accepted and they might not even reply rn because it’s prob super hectic over there due to decisions coming soon
