My essay is not bad but not good I’m trying to revise it before the deadline though.

NYU ed 2 (gallatin)

BU RD

I already got into Binghamton and the other SUNY’s I’ve applied to , and fordham if that helps as a benchmark?

Also would be helpful if I get suggestions for other schools that I may want to apply to that is in New York or close (wanna stay somewhat close) thanks!

Curious why Gallatin if your intended major is biology/pharmacy?

Any cost concerns - it says low income. Has your parents run the net price calculators? That will matter for any school, including the SUNYs but congrats. SUNY because even if you get a low income scholarship, room and board can be $15K+.

Finding other schools or any schools really depends on budget needs. That includes the schools you got into, if they’re not affordable.

Here are the NPCs for both NYU and BU. You should not ED if you cannot afford the price the calculator shows.

Hi I’ve ran the net price calculator for NYU and both me and my parents are okay with the price. I’m also not going to dorm there so I don’t have to worry about housing and stuff.

Have you considered CUNY?

But you do at the others - like Bing.

So other schools - you’ll need low cost or meets need. You want to be close so Columbia, CUNY. You can run the NPC for Hofstra. U believe they include merit.

BU isn’t really close but if you want meets need, Georgetown, UVA, UNC, Rochester, Johns Hopkins, Tufts. If smaller is ok, Brandeis, Connecticut, Bates, Skidmore, Dickinson.

You have to run the NPC for all.

Bu I don’t think happens. They are need aware. But try and see. I’m guessing no to NYU but it’s not as competitive a major. I’d feel better if your AP scores were higher. Try and see.

You need to ensure your SUNYs are affordable away from home because my guess is that’s where you’ll be.

Good luck.
