A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. An MD. You'll need to go to medical school after college.
NYU is a top school in the country. You'll need nearly perfect grades, a top test score, and great extra curricular activities. To get into NYU, you'll need to show you took all the hard classes your high school offers, not just the science ones. That means hard math, english, history, etc.

well to get into NYU you are going to definatly need to be top 10% in your class. Have a really High SAT and ACT scores. Like top percentile. Also be able to write really good essays when applying.
As far as what classes to take while in High school. Any kind of science is going to help you once you get in to colllege.

You are required to take at least a couple of calculus courses for pre-med curriculum, plus the ones the university you attend requires you to take. So, take all of the math and sciences courses you can right now and get a good base for your college career. You need to have top-notch grades to go to medical school anywhere, so study hard!

I recommend taking AP Psychology in high school, it is a fascinating course, and a realtively easy one for an AP class.
