Yeah, I wondered also if their date was in any way connected to the NYU decisions. I would imagine a lot of students apply to both schools.
and also applied to Northeastern.
It’s finals week at Fordham. NYU also (my daughter has friends there). The last day for finals at Fordham is the 22nd and students must vacate by noon on the 23rd.
I know things might be done differently this year as they have in the past, so I don’t want to create more confusion and undue stress, but I have a question: Did any of you have to create a “My.Fordham” account? When my daughter applied (and she applied RD) we had the portal that showed a checklist of what was received and what was still needed. But I remember she had to create a “My.Fordham” account also. Is the portal you are looking at on my.fordham? And this was something everyone had to do back then, I’m talking 2012-2013 school year. So I don’t know if things have changed.
I don’t think anyone should have any expectations for a decision before the 20th. True, decisions often come earlier than that, but December 20 is the only date you can expect to for sure have a decision by.
https://admission.fordham.edu/apply/status is the account we use, not a my.fordham
We did create something different. I thought it was for finances. I’ll go check my emails! ETA - it’s Access IT and it was through the myfordham page. PS - I love your screen name.
Anything???
nope, nothing
@CAMidwestMom - the AccessIT, that’s the set up for the my.fordham. If you go into that, Look to see if any tabs have changed. They have totally redone the website in the past few months, so the way things I remember might be different from what they were back in 2013 when we were waiting on RD announcements.
I remembered in the application portal. the one that @LeandroG mentioned, they put a link on the top of the screen that showed the decision letter. On the day when announcements were coming out, I must have refreshed that page a million times.
Back to “My.Fordham”: there was a “Prospective Student” and “Financial Aid” tab when we were waiting. When you clicked on the FA tab, there was another tab for “Messages”. That’s how you know if they wanted more info. Now, I don’t know what it might say if you are waiting. For us there is “Home” “Student” and “Student Life”. On the Student Life tab, when I click on that it has all the necessary places to find info. Financial Aid is now on that page.
I’m going to DM you.
any news??
@layla2016 nope, unfortunately, maybe tomorrow, the days get closer and closer to the 20th either way.
It seems like it should be by Friday since the 20th is on a weekend. I guess this is just unusual as many schools send results sooner than their last possible day. Oh well, someday we will know!
I hope this means there will be no false acceptances, and all of the spots from the people that got accepted ED to NYU and Northeastern have been given to other people that were on the edge of admittance. Hoping for decisions tomorrow, but expecting Friday.
Hopefully, there’ll be able to accept a large percentage of ED candidates (for those who have basically committed to Fordham, if you take out all the NYU and Northeastern EDers)
my best friend is committed to Fordham for baseball and he said that his coach told him he’s getting his official acceptance tomorrow. I’m hoping this means we will all find out tomorrow?no promises though. Just a thought
@nataliadrevere did he apply EA?
@Fiona1997 yes he applied early. Not sure if he applied ED or EA but it was definitely one of them. He said his coach told him his email would come tomorrow, so I’m really hoping that means that’s when everyone gets theirs. Unless they send out the athletes first?
I’m guessing tomorrow, but that’s also because I expect Fordham, like many places, will essentially be shut down the next two weeks. I can see them wanting to have one day to deal with any weird glitches between notification and the holidays, just to not leave people hanging for that long. They may have light staffing over the holidays, but most of my friends who work at colleges & universities are away most of those weeks.
@nataliadrevere I don’t know but I really hope we can get our decisions tomorrow! I’ve been so tired of waiting… did his coach tell him about the time? Morning? Afternoon? Evening?
@Fiona1997 me too! It’s been driving me crazy. And no he didn’t mention anything about the time but he said since he’s getting his tomorrow for sure we would probably get ours too. I’m thinking maybe either 3, 5 or 7 o’clock
