32 days until December 19th!!!
Does anyone think that we will hear earlier?
Hey! I applied to Fordham EA at Rose Hill as an English Major. It’s my top choice, but do I have a chance? I’ve heard Fordham puts high importance on the individual: the essay, teacher recs, my world experiences (I’ve traveled the world since I was 7), and my extracurricular activities. I’ve been told that all of the previously mentioned factors are both tough to find/replicate and work in my favor, but I’m very much on the low-end stats wise (25 IB score with a 20 ACT). I’m an African-American female rocker and would definitely add to the diversity of the campus, but is it not enough to squeeze by? Should I expect a rejection?
I think last year some people found out at the end of November, but I’m not sure. I hope that we get notified before Dec 19 because waiting is killing me. It’s my top choice and I applied ED.
I applied EA to Rose Hill! Digital Technologies and Media major. Fordham has been my top choice for 2 years, hoping for good news on December 19th!
ACT: 30C
GPA: 4.7
6 AP Classes, 6 honors
Tons of volunteering and a Senior Officer of SGA
Good luck everyone!
Last year and the year before, some EA students got admission letters just before Thanksgiving. Has anyone gotten one yet? We did not…
Here’s a link to last years discussion about this:
I noticed the same thing, looks like in 2015, 2014 and 2012 the likely letters were received on the Monday before Thanksgiving. I guess not this year?
I didn’t get anything.
what a tough time 
I got an email Monday saying that i was accepted! I applied EA and the acceptance wasn’t official but it was from the director of admissions.
Stats:
1420/1600 sat
3.9 W G.P.A.
@itry2hard congrats! Had Fordham received your first term senior grades by Monday? I’m wondering if these"likely letters" only go to kids from schools that have sent 1st term grades. Mine has not
I was sent an early accretion email as well as several students from my school, but did not send my first quarter grades.
Stats:
2320 sat
4.71 W GPA (4.0 UW)
@dstem2021 @itry2hard Do you guys mind checking your Fordham portal to see if anything has changed there? Does it still say status “received” on your stuff or does it show your acceptance? I feel like maybe the letter got filtered out or something because stats are in line with yours…
@suzyQ7 there is no rhyme or reason to the Fordham likely letters. Last year I got one while people with higher stats than me did not. Then when decisions came out those people got in and with better scholarships so if you don’t get one and have high stats, dont worry. Nobody"s portal will have changed yet, these are likely letters not official acceptances.
SuzyQ7 do you mind sharing your stats ?
3.97 UW GPA, 4.3W GPA, 35 ACT and strong ECs.
Best of luck your stats are great !
@suzyQ7 No, but I was given a “Your Choice Application”
Did the likely letter emails come through your personal email accounts or through the Fordham accounts?
My son received a Your Choice Application after he had already applied for EA, I don’t think they are really an indicator of getting accepted or not.
