I am posting this info so that others like me see the kind of person that can get accepted at NYU. I applied regular decision so that I could compare Financial Aid packages from other schools. I applied to 5 schools - and accepted to all but one. My top 2 schools - NYU Tisch and Emerson offered healthy pkgs. SAT = 1720; GPA 3.5 (with 2 AP courses); no ECs; 4 yrs of volunteering; but mostly a really good portfolio. I had two essays and a TV comedy script. Additionally, I was offered a $18K scholarship from Emerson; and a full scholarship from NYU. I also emphasized my focus on writing (getting some things accepted into print).
