<p>So I sent in all my materials and application. I have sent them my transcript as is, which only includes Freshmen year grades. Fordham says that they need my Fall 2007 transcript, basically they want to see this semester's transcript. But they will not get my grades for this semester until after December 19th, which means Fordham might not get my transcript until the last week of December or the first week of January. Classes at my college and at Fordham both start on January 14th. How will they notify me in less than 2 weeks and how will I be able to respond/pay deposits in such little time, if I do get in?</p>
<p>Also, the one time I called, they said that they could make a decision just on my freshmen year transcript. And then I called the next day, and they said that they could not.</p>
<p>For anyone who has successfully transferred for Spring at Fordham, how did it work out for you?</p>
<p>Any help?</p>
<p>I have no idea. But transferring mid year is a difficult proposition at any school. I would have your present school send grades BEFORE Christmas and just see what happens. If you are going to be a commuter student, that helps, as you wont need dorm space.</p>
<p>where do you plan on commuting from? Westchester, The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens?</p>
<p>Manhattan or Commack, NY which is 1 hr away using the trains.</p>
<p>commack ny is much further than 1 hr away using the trains. You have to take the LIRR to Penn Station first than either take the subway uptown or go to grand central and take metro north uptown... The trip each way would come out close to 2 hours</p>
<p>yeah, i live in commack. the LIRR can take either 1 hr or 1.5 hrs. And subways yeah, 15-20 mins. I can live with the commute. I have a much worse commute right now.</p>
<p>I'm also a transfer for the spring 2008 semester. How much of an impact do you think fall semester grades will have on the app?</p>
<p>I think they will matter alot. Is Fordham waiting for your fall semester transcript as well before they make a decision? Are you in my situation?</p>
<p>yes, they are currently waiting for it also.</p>
<p>okay, when does your semester end? Dec. 19th? What are your stats like? What school are you currently attending?</p>
