Fordham 2021 ED/EA Thread

Accepted Fordham College at Lincoln Center.
27 ACT

@IslandDadinWa My S got the same offer re Housing. :slight_smile:

Deferred, 4.02 W GPA, 31 ACT, strong ECs.

@IslandDadinWa it’s just that housing will be available for four years, which is not guaranteed to everyone. There is no financial component.

Did any other EA applicant not receive a specific form of financial aid? I assume I’d have to wait until february as designated in the applicant portal.

Thank you @jnkam24. That’s what I was thinking. My D is not home yet so we haven’t seen any kind of merit aid (or lack thereof).

Accepted! :slight_smile:
3.89 uw/ 4.5 w

Congrats to those who got accepted and good luck to those who got deferred!

My son was accepted, yay! However no mention of a merit scholarship which makes it out of the question financially. He’s willing to accept that’s it’s a no go, but is that definite? I want to say when my daughter was accepted 3 years ago she didn’t find out merit until later, and when she did it was significant I’m reading of all the scholarships on this thread and thinking it has changed. . He emailed the counselor just to check if there’s a possibility, because if not he will need to take it off of his list. Just wondering if anybody has heard about receiving merit at a later time. Thanks

@islanddad I will tell you last year that Fordham was my first choice, I was accepted EA, got the “housing offer” and $12,500 Loyola scholarship as well as a nonrenewable grant which was not much, adding up to a drop in the bucket to the COA of Fordham, and did not attend. It was all for the best because I LOVE where I am and cannot imagine being anywhere else!

Does anyone else NOT have a decision yet? We logged into the application status page. The status says “submitted”. It shows it as an EA application and shows all material as having been received. But it says nothing about a decision. I don’t understand! Are they going to release some of these later? Could it be the National Merit issue? Could they be holding a decision waiting to see if any other students pull their applications after they get their ED results from other schools?

How do I access my account?

@nbxx I think it is at admission.fordham.edu/apply/
