<p>awards:</p>

<ul>
<li> Voted hardest worker in the Mentoring Committee of NHS (out of 150 or so people)</li>
<li> Received a medal for pole vaulting at a weekend event for the Track Team</li>

<li> Set long jump record for the school year that I was on the track team (17 ft)</li>
<li> Broke the top 10 for pole vaulting in the city championships (was 7th)</li>
</ul>

<p>uhh what else is there; - My brother and I were working on a website this summer and we still have a lot of work left to go before it can be finally launched. We are looking to create a website where people can watch videos and upload their own videos, much like youtube.</p>

<p>So chance me on that for stern, wharton or just good business schools in general.</p>

<p>and I also have a question about financial aid in stern. How much would I be expected to pay if I have a low family income <$30k but high-ish assets: $250kish - my parents have been saving up to buy a house for a long time but apparently all these savings are going to disappear when college starts =[</p>

<p>NYU does not have their own financial aid calculator that factors in your EFC, family income and assets, etc. as NYU financial aid isn’t based on those things. NYU financial aid is based primarily on how good of a student they believe you are. Your financial aid will based on what ‘tier of desirability’ you fall into and as I am not an ADCOM and no one here is, I doubt anyone could tell you what tier you fall into. You should look at what scholarships NYU offers and see which ones you may qualify for. Otherwise, assume full tuition minus $10,000-$15,000/yr in scholarship + your government stafford unsub loans, etc.</p>
