<p>So I just got an email from Fordham saying I've been accepted. Does this mean I have a good chance of getting a substantial amount of aid?</p>
<p>My D just received the same email and wondering the same thing. It is her first choice but money is a factor.</p>
<p>I just got an email too!! Congrats guys 
I think there’s a pretty good chance of merit aid if they want us enough to send us an email a month early. I know they give a lot to National Merit Scholars, so if you are one, then maybe take that into consideration?
Are you guys going to use the SAS to fill out the aid form?</p>
<p>Congrats to both of you! Yes I’m probably going to use SAS although I want to find out more about it. I’m not a NMSF so I wouldn’t get that award but substantial financial aid would make Fordham a serious choice for me.</p>
<p>Did you folks submit well in advance of the deadline or did you get an acceptance less than a week after applying?</p>
<p>Application was submitted last week.</p>
<p>My daughter also got an email today and Fordham is her first choice school! We are ecstatic! And the application was submitted 10/21. Congratulations future Rams!</p>
<p>Our son got into Fordham too! Congratulations to all. Not sure if we will use SAS, but will tackle the FAFSA this weekend.</p>
<p>Congratulations to you all!!</p>
<p>Futboldad two weeks I think they got everything on 10/22.
Leftylou thanks!</p>
<p>Is there a downside to using SAS?</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone! I’ll be looking out for mine (:</p>
<p>Congrats…when did you guys who got accepted apply?</p>
<p>Got the email yesterday but I didn’t open it till today, because I wasn’t expecting a decision so early!! This is my first acceptance and I am so excited! It’s not really my first choice but still it’s nice to know</p>
<p>Daughter got the email last night. We would need a lot of $ assistance for her to attend D lives in Southern California. Does anyone know anything about SAS for the fafsa?</p>
<p>If you don’t mind me asking, what were your stats? (This question is aimed towards anyone in general )</p>
<p>3.85 unweighted gpa 28 act and 1860 sat</p>
<p>Got my acceptance last night too!</p>
<p>e10n20n, my stats are: 4.3 WGPA; 35 ACT; NMSF; AP Scholar with Distinction.</p>
<p>SAS is only taking your information and inputting into FASFA expediting your submission. Don’t think there was any downfall.</p>
<p>Your bigger concern will be completing the CSS Profile. It is worse then being audited by the IRS.</p>
<p>Congrats & Good Luck</p>
<p>Appeal your Aid Package when you get it!!!</p>
<p>Any who were accepted apply to Gabelli, RH? Curious if certain colleges are sending out with acceptances before others.</p>
