You should take NYU off your list for financial reasons, if nothing else. You would be better off trying for Barnard, although it is a big reach.

RE FA and the Claremont Colleges, Pomona has great FA, but it’s a very big reach for you. Pitt reportedly does have some good scholarships available to top OOS students, but I don’t know if you would qualify with your current stats. Your CR score is extremely low for many of these schools, unfortunately.

An urban school with excellent language and IR programs is Georgetown, especially their foreign language school. But again, very big reach.
