Fordham EA Class of 2020 Discussion Thread

@anothermuggle @aznboi4981 @malim123 My scholarship was listed right under my decision. I didn’t have to look anywhere to find it.

Deferred… 1870 superscore 3.4 unweighted, lots of extra cirriculars, leadership, service. Hoping for regular decision now. Congrats to all of you who were accepted. Can everyone else post some of their stats so everyone else can get an idea. Thanks!

thanks @emilyskates . pretty surprised that I didn’t get any award at all, but not devastated.

accepted!

all merit aid is right there on the same page as the decision, under the heading “your scholarship,” which is bolded and underlined. there’s no separate page that is displaying the aid, its all on that one page

Did you fill out the css? If so it should be a link right under the link for the acceptance letter.

Summary for those who asked -

Son accepted to Gabelli at RH. 4.0/4.46, SAT 1920, very strong ECs and recs. No merit money at all. Not too surprised but was expecting/hoping for a token amount maybe. We cannot pay the full amount so this one is out for us. ETA - we did submit the CSS within the deadline.

I was accepted to Gabelli also, but cant find anything about merit shcolarships… This is the only thing i see about financial aid:

Information about financial aid and resources for financing your Fordham education can be found at my.fordham.edu. Click on the Applicant Tab and select Financial Aid Online. (Please note: To access my.fordham.edu, you will need to claim your AccessIT ID and set your password. Instructions for first time users can be found at www.fordham.edu/admitted.)

Quick question, does making the portal account listed in the acceptance finalize your decision? Like say that you are going to Fordham or is it to explore?

@CAMidwestMom Same boat, will not be attending without scholarship.

Accepted to Gabelli Rose Hill!! 31 ACT, Strong Ecs

Bewildered about not receiving any aid. 35 C, top 10%, NHRP

@RPD123 If the merit award isn’t clearly stated at the tope of the acceptance page, you didn’t get anything :frowning:

accepted to fordham college at lincoln center no merit but i didn’t submit the css profile so idk if thats why

Accepted w/ $15000 scholarship. Not enough; tuition’s way too expensive for a second rate school

I was deferred, not too surprised but still hurts a little, regardless, congrats to all who did!!! I’m probably going to go to a school that I can afford/ get a good education in anyways but this was my dream school, oh well, would’ve been nice to get in though, I’m sure I still would’ve found a way to go.

Accepted. SAT 1950. ACT 29. Both Single sittings. GPA 4.1 W. Excellent EC’s and internship. No scholarship money given…

Can someone help me out please? I am very nervous now because I made the fordham account thinking I would see my financial aid and I do not want to be locked into a school yet.

Deferred also and I’m kind of surprised. 2010 superscore and 28 on the ACT 3.8 unweighted GPA and really strong extracurriculars with lots of leadership. Congrats to all those accepted though.

Where do we check our status?

You’re not locked in. Pretty sure you have to make a deposit to be locked in. Unless you’re ED, then that’s different, but making that account was an option before the results came out, so it’s not tied to that.
