A question on financial aid..!!!!

Hi, I am an ED applicant to NYU Stern.

Thinking that I will not qualify for a need-based financial aid, I did not filll out the ED financial aid application. (how much should your parents’ annual income to be in order for you to get the need-based financial aid?)

So when you guys are talking about scholarship, are you usually referring to merit-based scholarships that does not require separate application?

I am just wondering that it would hurt me very big if I do not get any financial aid at all after I am admitted as a binding ED applicant.

I have an okay SAT scores - 660(V)/800(M)/680(W) and 780(math 2)/750(physics), and good GPA (perhaps 3.9ish…).

However I am a male asian without US citizenship. (I am Korean with Canadian citizenship) (I guess this would hurt me ALOT…)

Do you think I will be eligible for some merit-based scholarships if I am admitted?

I would appreciate for inputs…

Thanks.
