Any one else doing Fordham's Your Choice Application?

<p>gosh thats a pain. oh well i guess its worth it, to save the fifty bucks.
anyway esgee: my Your Choice applicatio says -
1. Describe a significant life experience and how it has shaped the person you are today.
2. With which literary character do you most readily identify? What traits do you share?
3. Discuss a political, social, or cultural issue that has had an impact on society and why it is important to you.</p>

<p>Is your choice due earlier than if you do regular? because I can only apply RD since i'm auditioning for theatre program</p>

<p>Ah, right I forgot about those--thanks morganrichman.</p>

<p>Blujeanbebe--if you're applying RD, the deadline is the same as if you were using Common App so Jan. 1st.</p>

<p>Has anyone finished filling this app out?</p>

<p>I wondering how you filled out the Honors part--there is such little space!</p>

<p>Has anyone recieved a confirmation that fordham has recieved their app? i haven't and ive recieved confirmation from 3 other schools</p>

<p>If you're applying for the November 1st deadline with the Your Choice application, do your SAT scores actually have to be reported to them by the College Board by November 1st as well? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they don't, but I'm not positive.</p>

<p>Our D called Friday to ask the same question, she was informed that "everthing must be postmaked by October 31". We asked the College Board to rush her report. Give the FU admission office a call Monday to clarify, you will still have time to get the report postmarked before the end of the week if they confirm the need to do so.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I called Fordham yesterday and they told me to NOT RUSH scores so as long as you submit it before 11/1, you will be fine.</p>

<p>For the 'Your Choice Application' is an essay required? And if it is, does anyone know what E-mail address to send it to if we didn't submit it with our application?</p>

<p>Thank you! :)</p>

<p>no essay is required.</p>

<p>If I submit the Your Choice application, am I obliged to attend the school if I am accepted?</p>

<p>-The Your Choice application does not commit you to Fordham if accepted --the school only has EA, not ED.
-If all of your highest SAT scores are from one test, I think you can just send that one test in with the Score Choice option. I believe that Fordham super-scores (picks highest math and highest CR) so if you have better results on different parts with different SATs, then send everything in.
-If you don’t want to re-write your essay to meet the topics of the Your Choice application, there is an option to use the common app and waive the fee. (read third paragraph of the email)
-The essay says it is a max of 500 words – I think that anything much over two pages is considered long. If the essay doesn’t fit in the space in the application, you have the option to mail it in.
-Good luck everyone</p>

<p>I had already planned on applying to fordham with my common application essay but I got this Your Choice Application in an email…can i still apply with common app and get my fee waived?</p>

<p>I got this too but I already pretty much finished Common App so I am just going to do that. However, my letter said I have a fee waiver for the common app. Anyone do this?</p>

<p>I’m a freshman at Fordham. I got the Your Choice Application, and just chose other on payment method and it counts as getting your fee waived, only if you received the your choice application.</p>

<p>If you got an e-mail it’s free on the common app too, right?</p>

<p>TheJuan: I am! I’m just choosing “other” as my payment option… they’ll figure it out hopefully</p>

<p>All right, thanks.</p>

<p>I just submitted it with the “other fee waiver” on commonapp so I’m praying it works :slight_smile: since the last post was a while ago can someone applying this year verify that this works.</p>
