<p>@Snapple: I once again agree but here is the thing is that your pre-med School doesn’t really matter much when you apply to Med school. Only your grades and MCAT scores matter. </p>
<p>Also about the finance, maybe you could understand my view a bit here:</p>
<p>"You need to make sure you have a financial safety school that you can afford so that you have another option if NYU is impossible financially once you see your FA award. Don’t get caught up in the ‘it’s my dream school’ mentality. If the money is not there without enormous debt then go elsewhere. "</p>

<p>@NYyankee: Of course it’s much much harder getting into an Ivy league. That’s why I’m taking the SAT IIs, retaking the SAT and for an extra Ill retake the ACT.</p>
<p>Ill actually study hard this time…before I used to go without much studying.</p>
<p>And the reason why I even thought of Ivy Leagues is that Yale sent to my parents a postcard in the mail that said:</p>

<p>^^^So as you see, they are the ones that sent me an invite to apply. Also Penn sent me an invite to apply and so did Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Of course it doesn’t mean that they’ll accept me because they invited me but they don’t send invites to everyone and it at least tells me that I have a chance.</p>
<p>While the Ivy Leagues are expensive they have the </p>
<p>“meets 100% of that student’s demonstrated financial need”</p>
<p>policy.</p>
<p>Which NYU doesn’t have. (Penn offered me to just pay 6k per year in their invite letter)</p>
<p>I really like NYU a lot actually and would have put it as my number 1 choice anytime since I like the Uni as a whole…but… :/</p>
<p>OK this is what Ill do. Ill apply to Yale EA. Ill apply for many outside scholarships. If I get enough then Ill just go for NYU…I prefer it anyways since its closer and in the city.</p>
