Hi guys. I applied for Excelsior last year and got accepted. (It was from the Dream Act, not HESC, and with TAP, not FAFSA). When I received my Scholarship, I remember that it didn't show in the 'Financial aid' tab in CUNYFirst until very late in the Fall semester. But everything went fine, I didnt get dropped from my classes or anything.

The thing is that now the aid is again not showing for this year, and I just received an email saying that I would get dropped by Thrusday if I don't pay. I thought the story was going to just repeat itself until I saw that email, so I started panicking.

To be completely sure, the only requirement is to re-apply for TAP, right? I also know the residential and credits requirement, in which the only possible case for me to not be eligible is that I am 1 physics class behind of what I should be (im a physics major). But still I received no notice or anything telling me that im no longer eligible for Excelsior. In fact, the 31st of July I received a notice that my college updated my information about financial aid, but for the 2025-2026 year????? And my TAP DOES show in the Financial aid tab, but not Excelsior.

Does anyone know a way to check the status of my aid? Or at least to know if I won't get it? I will be going to the Financial Aid Office tomorrow, even though I just got the email and the earliest I can make an appointment is by Thursday, the exact day the email said I would be dropped from classes. Has anyone gone through this?

Edit: Please reply even if you know just a little of information.

Hey guys, I searched for this specific thing here but the only thing I found was from 6 years ago.

Basically sometimes when I get into a match the agent selector goes a usual but when loading into the map it just stays in the loading screen with all the players. You can tell that the match already started since you can actually hear people using voice chat and, for some reason, when I press enter and type something I can hear how my messeges are actually being sent, though I dont think my teamates can read them. I does not happen to me every game, but the moment I start the game and that happens I cant load into a game until I restart my computer and pray that the next time It will let me in. And even after a succesful entry into a game, sometimes I will happen the second game I go into.

Does anyone know a solution to this?

Hi people!

I've been wondering what exactly I should practice and now how to do so I can objectively get better at the game. As I watch YouTube videos, I've heard a lot of stuff that are important for improvement, like resource management, knowing how to respond in certain scenarios, etc.

But how exactly do I have to practice this? Is this supposed to be just a matter of playing a lot of matches? For reference, I'm at elo 930, and I can usually do build orders pretty well, I go to feudal at the very least at the same time than my opponents, even faster most of the time. Usually with 21 or 18 pop scout rushes. But after almost 80 matches (I'm also fairly new) I know I already found my highest elo possible with my current skill. I usually lose when the match goes to imp, or to attacks that genuinely take me by surprise when I don't have much army to defend myself. I've been losing a lot of games lately and I think I'm going down in elo.

So, what would you say it's most important to get better? Is it knowing what to do up to castle? up to imp? is it resource management? Am I suppose to do extensive research to know every single timing and strat in the game? Or should I just shhhh and go play?
