<p>Thanks Socal and Snapple for answering.</p>
<p>In terms of GPA, that’s actually the one that Im not worried at all lol. I would have have gotten a 4.0 unweighted gpa in another normal High Shcool. I even asked my guidance counselor about this and she confrimed. She said that Universities have a grade converter so all grades are balanced…it wouldn’t make sense if all High School grade were looked at in the same light.</p>
<p>Yes, I agree, the SAT score is my fall. But I’m planning to retake it and I’m aiming for a 2000+</p>
<p>The reason why I want CAS is that I later on want to go to med-school. So I think pre-med is the way to go.</p>
<p>But I have been reading a lot of topics on CC these days and I’m getting so lost. </p>
<p>From what I read, NYU is the “rich-boy’s school” in that its stingy when it comes to financial aid. Which I really need. Also there policy is not a “…meet student needs 100%”. And I really don’t want to start my life, espicially for pre-med since Ill still need to go to med, with a debt. </p>
<p>So here’s my 2nd question: </p>
<p>Assuming that my EFC is 0. And I do not dorm in the Uni. (I live close by). How much will my financial aid be? How much will I pay?</p>
