NYU is one of my top choices, and I have always dreamed of going here or one of the ivies. I honestly, brutally want to know my chances of getting a top scholarship as an international student in the US. I plan on majoring in a biochem degree or somewhere along those lines to go to their medical school in the future. Thank you very much to all advice.
