Hi, can you link where you saw that NYU is planning to meet full need this year?

Regardless yes as pointed out above, NYU is need aware for internationals. It is occasionally very generous to internationals, but these are for the most outstanding students. Also be sure you are aware of the requirements at NYU to double major across schools, especially Tisch (film). (My understanding is that you have to be accepted at Tisch and then apply to double major in CAS (math) once you are enrolled, you can’t do it the other way round. You’d need to confirm that before you apply of course as you will apply to a particular school within NYU.)

I don’t know much about Barnard but if it is a true meet-full-need college and finances are your top priority, then it makes sense to ED there and ED2 to NYU. Of course both of these are highly competitive colleges, so I presume you have a range of other schools to apply to for RD as well.
