So I have really weird credentials, and applied to a lot of top 50 schools, however I’m most likely going to get rejected from all of them. I already got in to Fordham and Rutgers New Brunswick.

My question is, do you think Fordham is worth it for the money? My family qualifies for NO financial aid at all, so I’d be stuck paying ~55K a year for Fordham, whereas Rutgers would give me a scholarship making me only pay ~15K a year.

I would be going to either as a Political Science undergrad. Is Fordham worth the cost, or is it worth it just to go to Rutgers?
