I'm an undeclared science major, and I've been placed in MATH 19000. I was considering majoring in biology or chemistry, but because of my placement results, I'm worried I'll be held back a year or so. It's far too late to apply to CiPass now.

Hello I’m goin to say something brutally honest and this is gonna sound really stupid for even asking but I want to ask anyways. Is my chance of Grove School just over? I’m a junior upcoming senior, and so far my grades are just bad. For Math 195 I dropped it and got a W, got a D on my 2nd attempt and got an NC on my 3rd attempt. I eventually e permitted Math 195 at CSI and got an A. I then got to Math 201 and got an F on my first attempt and a WU on my 2nd attempt. I also got a W on Chem 103. I had a genuinely rough first 2 years of college and my GPA went down to a 2.74. I really locked in for my junior year and got an A on my 3rd attempt at Math 201, A on my 2nd attempt on Chem 103, A on Chem 104. I even got an A on both Math 212 and Phys 207 somehow lol and a B+ on Chem 261. My GPA went from that 2.74 and is currently rn is a 3.25. I’m genuinely trying to do better but unfortunately I’m unsure I could apply and get accepted into grove with my current academic history. It’s just sad to because I can really wanted to major in Chemical Engineering. I asked my advisor and she said to just give up hope. I don’t even know what to do anymore, I put in all my effort this year to redeem myself and she basically just said give up hope and choose a different major. I’m currently doing Math 213 over the summer, and so far 2/3 exams I’ve managed to get a 90. So my question now is if I apply for Grove School at the end of this fall, will I automatically get rejected. Should I just give up hope on this and just choose regular Chemistry? Or should I just continue grinding on and hopefully I could have success. This was a ramble and a little stupid to ask but I just want to know if anyone has had experience with this?

After finishing my first year at CCNY, my business outside of college has been successful. I haven't declared my major yet still and overall, I'm only in college to fulfill the academic obligation to my family.

In order to keep the load light (since I'm putting all 100% onto my business), does anyone know what the easiest major might be? I know the Colin Powell school is the easiest but there's many majors so I'm assuming it's one of the Psychology variants or Sociology variants?

hello CCNYians, incoming Freshmen for fall 26 did my placement exam and got placed into math 20500. im a bit confused as it said I need a calc 1(math 20100) to even get into CS via grove but I got into 20500 and idk if it would be sufficient to getting into grove although both are calc courses. does 20500 fulfill my math placement such that I can be admitted into grove school for engineering? thanks in advance

Hope your summer is going well! While we have some great groups right on campus, a few of us are building out a broader NYC-based Muslim social club specifically to give college students a dedicated space to hang out, network, and connect outside of class.

We know the commuter grind at City College can sometimes make it tough to build a solid social circle, so we're organizing social events, meetups, and casual hangouts across the city to bring people together.

To make sure I'm fully respecting the subreddit's rules against spam or forms, I’m not dropping any external links or handles in this post. But if you're a CCNY student who wants to expand your circle or stay updated on upcoming events, feel free to drop a comment or shoot me a DM!

How long after does it take to get the results and do you need to bring a laptop or is it all on paper?

Hey everyone,

I know we’re all completely bogged down with engineering labs, architecture studios, and heavy workloads, so I’m trying to start up a casual soccer social club to give us a reason to get outside, get some fresh air, and take a breather.

It's strictly 18+ and open to all skill levels. Whether you haven't touched a soccer ball since middle school or you play all the time, the vibe is entirely relaxed and social. The goal is just to meet people from different majors and get some regular pickup games going nearby.

If you're interested in playing or hanging out, drop a comment below or send me a DM so I can add you to a group chat. We can figure out the best parks, days, and times to meet up around class schedules!

I was working for a few months full time but recently got fired as such I didn't make a schedule for the fall semester and sign up for fafsa. Is it too late to sign up?

Hello 29/F here, been at this school for a couple of years almost but have failed to make connections. I transferred from bmcc last year in the spring as a bio major. Really would like some community! Personally believes it helps greatly with succeeding thru the difficulties of college life!

Is it gonna be very hard to take ENGL 21007 writing for engineering class during summer? I’m taking with prof Pamela Stemberg which is a hybrid class.

I'm a new student and am just curious about your experience with them. I've been told Fin Aid Departments across each college vary in terms of helpfulness, avoiding wrongful charges, and solving issues promptly

going on vacation in august and i’d like to not skip the first week of classes (for me it would start the 31st) but lmk

I was enrolled in Weilin Li for Calc 3 for Fall 2026 weeks ago, and now I see he’s been replaced by Seth Foster.How does Seth Foster compare to Weilin Li?

HELP ! looking to take A&p1 AND chemistry (@ laguardia cc) this upcoming semester.... any good professors i should try to get ?
