You’re not going to apply to a single four year university that is likely match for both admissions and financial aid?
I wouldn’t even bother with NYU or Northeastern unless the financial aid calculator says they’re affordable. Every year there are kids asking how to convince their parents that NYU is worth tens of thousands of dollars of loans. Take the time to research affordability and you’ll save yourself some time and effort.
The “quick way” is to use Debt By Degrees to see an overview of typical financial aid packages by income band

The “slow way” is to enter your family’s detailed financial information in each school’s Net Price Calcuator.
