Hey,

Calling all CUNY GC Computer Science admits!

Have you guys heard about your funding? They haven't sent me anything, and when I call, they don't have any concrete response.

For other CS applicants (not CUNY):

Do you guys have any idea of funding procedure at CUNY (maybe through friends)?

Best,

Ali

i'm not in the same field but maybe their page on funding might help you if you haven't seen it already: http://www.gc.cuny.edu/admin_offices/finaid/GC_aid.htm

otherwise, i will be starting in a different department and field at the Center next fall but i can tell you what i went through for funding: in the acceptance letter that, it said that i was up for a university fellowship (which are explained on the page i linked above) but eventually i was awarded an enhanced chancellor's fellowship. obviously your department might handle funding differently but my department at the Center had limited awards, accepted more people than they will fund, and the folks who haven't gotten word on funding probably will not be receiving funding. you see, i think i was up for some university fellowship but also waitlisted for the enhanced chancellor's fellowship and the latter fellowship came through first. either way, i was notified that i would somehow be funded.

i hope this isn't the case for your sake but i think if you haven't been notified that you're at least up for some funding competition, you're not going to be funded.
