Stern FAQ's

Hi everyone! I am an Asian female and atm I am trying to decide if I should apply to NYU Stern at all. I know I have a below average academic record, but since I can pay the complete cost of attendance (and I have heard it makes a big difference at NYU, not sure how far it’s true though) so I thought why not apply and see what happens.
I have a 1940 SAT (will probably not submit), AAB in GCE A Levels, a paid marketing internship and tons of other ECs, strong essay and good recommendations.
So, is there any hope for me?
