<p>I have a question for those who got accepted already and plan on attending Fordham. What schools are you turning down, and did you got a scholarship from FU?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Turning down Northeastern, American, Rutgers, and Drexel. They all offered me a bit of aid, but Fordham was quite okay --- $18+ (Jogues & Grant-in aid).</p>
<p>turning down northeastern, ubuffalo, ualbany, stony brook, adelphi, hofstra, suny new paltz, and withdrawing from further consideration at wellesley.</p>
<p>turning down all the CUNY's, Stony brook, rutgers, and possibly stevens</p>
<p>not entirely sure yet, but NYU, Texas A&M, Northeastern, and Loyola Chicago</p>
<p>i got a full-tuition scholarship for being a National Hispanic Scholar.</p>
<p>Well I just got waitlisted @ Columbia and a guarenteed transfer option @ Cornell for fall of 2009.<br>
Turned down SUNY's Binghamton, Stony Brook, Buffalo, ESF, now it I have to decide between University of Illinois vs Fordham. I also have to decide to pursue Cornell next year as a transfer. I am disabled and U of Illinois has the best support for the physically disabled in the country, or should I attend Fordham where things for me will be more of a question mark related to my physical needs. Diffucult choice.</p>

<p>well, technically i got a scholarship to fordham through HEOP program, they sed w/e FA doesnt cover, they will take care of, which compells me to turn down manhattan college, CUNY hunter & SUNY new paltz..fordham was my 2nd choice anywayss..i didnt think it was a good school..but after visiting it, i changed my mind..lol</p>
<p>dreaming18, the same happen to me too!</p>
<p>realli? >?</p>
<p>Well to tell the truth, I had no choice. =(</p>
<p>what didnt you like about Fordham, I am trying to chose between NYu and Fordham as well, and my bf goes to Fordham but I am just wondering.</p>
<p>damn it, i might after all be turning down fordham...we cant afford it =(</p>
<p>waa, Im sorry to hear that but just make sure that you dont sacrifice too much just to go to school cheaper. I know I am having a hard time turning down these small schools giving me basicly a full ride</p>
<p>as calculated, by the time i graduate ill probably be in debt 60grand+, and i want to do medschool. its funny you say dont sacrfice too much, makes me want to stop education after my diploma and find a job that pays minimum wage with the hopes that after 30 years ill be making 60k.</p>
<p>jiji, I get you, Na I understand you Im just hoping you choose a place you like as well. I cant really talk though, I would be graduating with about 25k debt If i decide on Fordham and my parents dont help</p>
<p>atleast 25k would be more realistic for me, Honestly , if your planning to do business or something that you can get a decent job, i suggest you go to Fordham. Its a great school, debts can always be paid off. The average debt for people who graduate fordham is about 28k or 30k anyways, so consider it.</p>
<p>yeah I am however I am not doing business, but I am interested in the Co-Op program with COlumbia U in which i can also get a bachelor of Engineering as well as one of arts. But idk it depends. I reallly enjoy philosophy so idk this is a big headache lol</p>
<p>turned down CUNY Hunter, CUNY Baruch, Pace and NYU.</p>
<p>flamingspirits- your choice of med school is much more important than your choice of undergrad institution- save money on your undergrad, go to a great NY state school, and keep the debt down till med school. Starting out in life with a killer loan hanging around your neck like an albatross won't give you any advantages in life. Spend the money where it matters.</p>
