If you can’t delay your graduation in the hope of raising your GPA and getting a better SAT score, then the numbers you have to work with are the numbers you’ve got. Your own high school guidance counselor should be able to tell you where students with your stats have been admitted in recent years and whether or not those students got decent financial aid. Forget NYU. Even if you had the stats for NYU it does not give good financial aid. It is almost certain that you wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Go to the Financial Aid Forum and read up on need-based and merit-based aid. Look for anything posted by @sybbie719. She is in the NY area and knows about financial aid for NY residents.
