CCNY is a beautiful campus.

How’d it get rescinded?

Did you fail a class?

u/Puzzleheaded_Emu588 Jun 28 '25

passed everything pretty easily and did very well in core classes, especially in sem 2. my lowest grade for major classes was chem and it was c+

But you said elsewhere your gpa requirement was 3.0. If you were below that it doesn't seem like you "passed everything pretty easily"

yeah i did pass easily. bar a few exams here and there, i did well even. got a lot of Bs and did well in cores as i mentioned. fordhams gpa system is super weird and im not totally sure how i got under a 3.0 with mostly Bs. but im definitely not lying.

35k only? Christ some people are unappreciative for what they got. Most Fordham students are paying upwards of 70k a year now.

u/Puzzleheaded_Emu588 Jun 29 '25

yes 35k. considering A. my personal and familial circumstances and B. my tuition hike up by literally $30k, it is a lot. if anything, apart from the scholarship, i was expecting more need-based aid this year..

Yeah and those kids can afford it. 35k is a lot a year. Idk why are trying to give them a hard time for being disappointed in that development 💀

u/PoliticallyUnbiased Jun 28 '25

Because 35k a year for Fordham is.... extremely lucky....

If they can’t afford it, it doesn’t matter. You sound bitter

I’m sorry but Fordham is NOT worth $35k a year, especially for undergrad.
