Hello everybody I am in tears, help. I was deferred from Fordham University from early action to regular decision and as March is already going by quickly I am anxiously awaiting a decision (and panicking). I have emailed by admissions rep with a long letter sucking up to her and going on about how Fordham University is my top pick (how much it means to me, why I want to attend, update on how school is going, some sap story about being a first generation student, blah blah blah). Then again, I emailed to ask when decisions would be released. I have also changed my intended major since then. When I was deferred my major was communications and media management at the Gabelli School of Business. Since then, I have changed it to Fordham College (I think I was deferred because my application was for Gabelli but I don’t know and I’m stressing out so help). I think that’s all the information need be. Anyway, please chance me because I cannot deal with this stress anymore and need someone to assure me everything will be okay. thx

Early Action to Fordham, but deferred
I have two relatively well written recommendations from teachers and one from my pastor’s wife.
I believe my common app essay was pretty good if I say so myself (it was about 9/11 and how learning about it matured me at a young age so hit me up Fordham, pls)
