How likely is it to get a NYC slot in drop even with a really low last 4 SSN?

As close as you can get to guaranteed as this business allows.
There are a couple things that vastly alter your QoL at any airline: In base vs commute, WB vs NB, and category seniority. NYC offers a significant boost in seniority due to its extremely low desirability and I've never once heard somebody complain about being stuck in SLC (or any other base for that matter) and unable to get to NYC.
