<p>i want to study science (chem). which one do you think is better? i got $10000 more financial aid from r.p.i. I got into both colleges with undecided major. do you think fordham university will give more money if i repeal?</p>
<p>They SHOULD reconsider. especially considering fordham offered me 24k merit and rpi waitlisted me haha. </p>
<p>Fordhams sciences aren’t too strong and RPI is known for Engineering.</p>
<p>To be honest, OP, an appeal rarely gets you more than a few thousand dollars. It did happen last year that someone did end up getting a full ride after enrolling and then nearly withdrawing due to finances but that was a very rare situation.</p>
<p>Look carefully at the additional $10k that you got from RPI…is it gift/merit/you don’t have to pay it back $? Or does it include loans? If finances are the deciding factor, and you prefer Fordham then appeal and see what happens but be prepared. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>appeals can be surprising - you might as well submit one and hope for the best. But only if you truly would like to go to Fordham</p>
<p>$10k i got from RPI is scholarship. I didn’t get any scholarship from fordham hahaha</p>
