Why is NYU your “dream school”.
What is your intended major?
Do you have any financial constraints? Are you and your family fine being full pay at NYU without taking on any debt?
There are a LOT of very good universities in the USA, more elsewhere, and you can do very well with a degree from any one of at least a few hundred colleges and universities.
Also, sociology and psychology are areas where some form of graduate school is at least possible. Graduate school can involve additional expense. It can be a good idea to budget for this before you start university.
To me, NYU looks like a high reach. I think that rejection is more likely than acceptance. You will regardless know in a few days.
