Fordham EA Class of 2020 Discussion Thread

@2manybooks do you think the campus is more classic and conservative than other colleges’? I’m just wondering… from what I read from your post, I like Fordham even more now. It was actually my last minute decision to apply to Fordham… I was looking at really top schools then I realize that my SAT is not good enough. I might end up attending Fordham if I don’t get into BC or Notre Dame. (I love these two schools not only because they are Catholic but also because of football and the school spirit)

@Fiona1997 Rose Hill definitely has more a of the classic campus feel to it. However, in terms of conservatism, no. Particularly in the politics sense. They’re pretty much like any other college out there right now.

@Fiona1997 - Good questions! In fairness, our family has a LOT of ties to people currently at ND (another reason why my son didn’t apply there… :wink: That, and he doesn’t like football.) He didn’t apply to BC, but I don’t remember why not. ND is very Catholic, and very football-oriented. Priests live in the dorms, and there are many service opportunities. It’s fairly socially conservative, which S is not, especially. Fordham has more restrictive policies around visitors in the dorms than any other school to which he’s applied. I don’t think that’s a make-or-break thing for him at all, but it gives an idea of the culture. Rose Hill is beautiful, and everyone we met with was helpful. He did send email with a couple of questions and never received a reply, but they’re questions he’d address later if it ends up looking like it’s on the very short list of options.

All three of those schools you’ve listed are really good, though.

@Reader13 I’m very socially conservative. I have a lot of school spirit and school pride but I’m a bit of nerdy at the same time. Sounds like Fordham RH will be a good fit for me?

3 mins… did anyone get anything yet?

@Fiona1997 I think so. It’s a nice campus and the students seems nice too. (I go to FCLC but I’ve made a few trips up to RH as well as having a class there next semester).

Nothing yet

nothing for me. i have a feeling it’s going to be tomorrow.

nothing yet… I hate the waiting… uhhh

Last year results were released at about 3 pm on December 15

@fordhamfamily yeah that’s what I’ve heard…

At this point I don’t know whether to refresh the Fordham page or stalk this forum!!

I applied to Fordham at Rose Hill EA as well. Waiting on this decision is so stressful! Does anybody know for sure that we will know by tomorrow? And by what time

Portal still remains the same…

No results. :frowning:

Can we just call the office because I can’t concentrate on my study until I get the exact date and settle down…

^^already did today and they would not say a date

we should make a whatsapp group chat

it’d be easier to talk through there than through here

I don’t have whatsapp…
