If financial aid is a concern, NYU is notoriously stingy, and FA for out of state residents is a big problem for out of state kids at schools like UCLA.

You can get a fairly good idea of your chances by taking a look at section C of the Common Data Set for the schools you’re interested in. Google: common data set name of school.

For example, NYU

Section C9 shows that a 1290 SAT is 25th percentile, and a 1490 is 75th. If your expected SAT puts you below the 25th percentile at a school, you’d have to consider that an extreme reach.
