Furious
After stringing me along for literally five months, several in-person visits, two transcript requests (CUNY lost my first transcript that Georgetown sent them), and countless dozens of phone calls to administrators who all gave me conflicting information, CCNY has rejected me for transfer into their Mechanical Engineering program ( Read more... ) -
