You have solid scores. Better than most kids in Stern. Tremendous extracurriculars and activities. I’ll agree your GPA is a sub-standard, do you know where you fall percentile-wise? Top 10%? 25%? That often proves more important than the actual number, simply because they want an idea of how you factor in relation to the kids at your school. If the whole school is challenging and few kids pull anything over a 3.75, having a 3.6 clearly isn’t as terrible as if you pulled a 3.6 and barely broke top 50%.

Aid is definitely terrible here, we have the smallest endowment for ANY Tier-1 program. No one can give you an estimate without your EFC from the FAFSA, and even then it’s still a bit unpredictable unfortunately.
