Was there a priority waitlist this year

question, sorry if this is the wrong place. Looking to apply maybe next cycle. Was looking at Fordham's website - says total institutional aid will never exceed $45,000? With $72k tuition everyone pays at least $20k? Just looking for anyone able to confirm that since it seems different than any other school I've seen
