What kinds of students get good financial aid at NYU?

<p>i got ~$22k in scholarships. one is just “CAS scholarship” and another is a scholarship for students in the sciences because i’m studying biology.
i think my only scholarship hooks were that my application was totally centered around my interest in biology (essay, classes, ECs, intended major, work experience) and my SATs were 2380, 760 bio and 790 literature</p>
