Reasonable targets even with 15%-18% admit rates and a SAT a little below median admitted for the last intake (1470 BU, 1500 NYU)? I definitely think OP is in range and from what I know of NYU I’d think the backstory will be a tip, and I would certainly encourage OP to apply, but I’d still put these more into the reachy than “reasonable target” category just on admit rates. Especially RD - BU took half its admitted class from the ED pool last year and I think NYU took about a third ED.
