@VanishingK , just trying to bring a little bit of rational thinking to this time of stress and woe. I know folks are gripping (mentioned it in my first post), and frankly, I wouldn’t be here myself if I wasn’t almost as bad as everyone else 
But fear not, I’ve said my piece and not intending to pick a fight so I’ll just slip back silently into the night.
How are you not intending to pick a fight by attacking me for something you disagree with? You can disagree, but there is no need to attack me.
Jesuit institutions have this concept - they educate “men and women for others.” I have to think that the phrase doesn’t mean entering into hostilities because the school hasn’t posted acceptance notifications yet, especially when the school’s own website says “Decisions will be received by December 20.” Fighting or sniping about it seems pretty contrary to what the school is about.
They have their own reasons for issuing (or not issuing) likely letters. They are an unofficial part of the admissions process. They will follow their published dates for official notification, and they’ll release results by December 20.
@2manybooks I was not looking for a fight; I was attacked.
@aznboi4981 - Doesn’t matter. Walk away. Deescalate. If you’re thinking of going to a Jesuit school, it’s a good time to learn and practice the values. 
Angry rants on anonymous Internet comment boards never convinced anyone of anything, or do any good for anyone.
I was just accepted to the Northeastern Honors Program with the Dean’s Scholarship ($22000 a year) so I don’t really care if I get into Fordham or not. Good luck everyone!!
I think someone at Fordham forgot to press the send button. Lol.
It will be over in a few days and will be just a bad memory. Take a deep breath. It will all work out and we will all know by Friday. The 20th is a Sunday.
@emilyskates good for you! I’m probably rejected by NEU.
@fordhamfamily and Fordham be like “hey happy 4th Sunday of Advent, kids!”
@aznboi4981 , if you truly felt “attacked” (vs what I had intended, and that was to probe the source of your, what I regarded as misplaced, displeasure of Fordhams “process” since I did not perceive the evidence at hand to warrant such a statement) then I must apologize. That truly was not my intention.
Though I must say that if this “mini-tiff” provided a bit of levity for those who are yearning for clarity, then I guess it wasn’t all bad
I got the notification email on last Wednesday at 7 or 7:30. Does it mean the office opens till that late? Or it’s automatic?
I’m not going to continue to entertain your argument.
@Fiona1997 Are you EST?
Not sure. It’s a mystery.
@aznboi4981 yeah. I’m from MA.
I’m sorry that’s been your experience, but I also know it’s too often the case. The point, though, is to try to live up to the values, and to try to do better. I know Fordham tries to do it (I have a couple of former faculty members who are now on their faculty), and I know it’s something my family tries to live by as well.
I get it that you’re stressed. You’re not presenting yourself all that well here, though. I wish you the best.
Just play me in Hearthstone, that’ll relieve your stress xD, but seriously guys no need to fight, we’re all anxious, I would want nothing more than to find out if I was accepted already, but I can’t know that yet, so I’m watching footloose and hoping I get email by Friday so I can enjoy my weekend, it’s almost Christmas, be happy 
It’s almost Christmas and my teachers are assigning tons of papers and projects and reading assignments… because they want the grades in before the break… sign… I feel like having a break down… 
@Fiona1997 This isn’t the first time teachers ddid that to you I’m sure, and prob won’t be the last, last year I had to give in a 10-12 page research paper on… something lol, I forgot what it was but I did alright on it because then I had little to do over break, you’ve gotten through all other obstacles up to this point, I have faith that you can make it through this week
@LeandroG thank you… but the problem is that I’m sick and I really want to catch up with all the school works… I think I’ll be alright…
@Fiona1997 Ask a friend to fill you in where ever you fall short, even though I like to take all my own notes, it should still help you a lot.
