Chance a burnt out latte artist for NYU Stern/IB targets. NJ resident, 3.7UW, 1520 SAT

Only seeking scholarship at stevens and fordham because my parents (justifiably so) dont think it’s worth 80-90k/year for a school marginally better than a school like rutgers.

However they would be willing and able to pay over 100k for a school like NYU or cornell

Thank you for the suggestions, but I really prefer to stay in the northeast if possible. Babson seems like a good consideration.

Also, about trying to network my way into IB from virginia tech/UF, what would be different from trying to do the same out of Rutgers or Baruch?
