@sgtdonut, you are in the best position to answer your own question. Only 1-2% of merit awards at NYU are entirely based on merit (and some of that could be artistic merit etc. not just academic). If when you did your expected family contribution calculation the result was an EFC that = the entire cost of attendance, then you will have to be lucky enough to be a part of that 1-2%. Your stats are excellent but not unusual for NYU. Perhaps if you have an additional hook beyond that it might help. Good luck!
