Go to the Financial Aid forum, and start following what @sybbie719 writes. She is one of our NY State experts.
Yes, NYU is known for lousy aid for most students, but it also can be extremely generous with certain students including those admitted through HEOP. What will happen to that program is anyone’s guess with the new NY policies.
Your will have the best chance at good aid for college if you have excellent grades in high school. So look at how well you have done so far, and think about what you need to do to finish with top grades. Talk with your teachers and guidance counselor about that too, so that you can get any help you need now with improving your study habits.
Wishing you all the best!
