trying to get into NYU stern

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi i am currently a high school senior. I am going to apply to NYU for fall 2014 Early decision 1. MY stats are as following
-800 math sat
-670 reading sat
-690 writing sat
or
5 ap bio
5 ap calc
4 ap english comp</p>

<p>i am either number 1 or 2 in my school(doesnt do rankings) and my GPA is very high, unweighted is a 3.93/4.00. I have done many EC activities such as playing varsity tennis in my previous high school, started a chinese teaching program at a need based preschool for kids, joined many clubs. etc
IN junior year i transfered to a full time dual enrollment program where i go to a local college for high school but take all college courses so i graduate with an AA degree along with my HIgh school diploma. </p>

<p>I know i am a very good cannidate to accepted into NYU stern, but i need help for the money issue.
I was looking online for the financial aid and did some calculations. My parents made 59,000 in 2012 and it gave me around 25,000-35,000 dollars in need based aid. And i also did one for stern school and it gave me around 10,000-15,000. Does this mean that i can add those two numbers together like NYU gives me 20-30k and its stern program give me an additional 10k??</p>

<p>BTW my parents income is probably gonna drop to 40,000-50,000 in 2013 because my dad was temporarily unemployed.
Can someone, preferably with NYU Stern financial aid experience give me a good estimate for my chance of getting in and how much money i will be offered merit+need?</p>

<p>Great GPA. SATs are decent - in line with average admitted Stern student. You seem like a good applicant but you never know when it comes to acceptances to very competitive schools. Its also especially hard to predict what a candidates FA package will be as the case for every student is different. For students NYU/Stern really wants they will give them lots of FA or Scholarhsip Money but as an institution NYU is not that good with regards to giving FA. However, I would still apply and see as you might be surprised especially as NYU is on a billion dollar campaign to award scholarship money.</p>
