Hi! I’m an international student and I recently got accepted into the Computer Science program at CCNY (Grove School of Engineering).

I’ve seen a lot of people online saying that Grove is very competitive and difficult to get into, especially for engineering majors. However, my experience felt surprisingly straightforward, and now I’m a bit confused.

I’m trying to understand:

How selective is Grove really for incoming students?

Is it harder to get in from high school vs. internally (after starting at CCNY)?

Are there common reasons why students don’t get accepted into Grove right away?

I’d really appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences, especially international students. Thanks!
