Fordham EA Class of 2020 Discussion Thread

@CAMidwestMom thank you so much! was just sweating bullets because if I had locked myself in, I would have missed out on any other schools that might give me more aid

Accepted!!! O:-) :))
1790 SAT
3.6 GPA UW
a ton of EC
SAT 2 (ITA 770 US730)

A huge hug to anyone who got deferred/didn’t get in don’t give up, loves :wink:

Accepted at Rose Hill!
2120 SAT
31 ACT
4.0 GPA
A few ECs, but not many
NHS

I received full tuition so 99% sure I’ll be attending next year. Congrats to all that were accepted! Hope to see some of you in the fall! And to those who were deferred, no worries! I’m sure you’ll find your school and if Fordham is that school, you haven’t been rejected yet. Good luck

i think you’re good as long as you don’t make a deposit

I’m pretty upset, I only got a $15,000 scholarship to start. I wasn’t a NMSF, so I wasn’t expecting that much, but I really need at least 3/4 tuition to justify my parents paying for it when I have full tuition. My aunt suggested that I try to set up a meeting with the financial aid office and appeal directly to them in person, so I’m going email the financial aid office to set up a meeting in January

Accepted with 2120 SAT and 4.0 GPA. Says I got a Dean’s Scholarship of $15,000. Lincoln Center.

D accepted. Great merit award. Low ACT and 3.2 GPA. Must be great ECs. Waiting for Northeastern though. Deferred there. Yikes,

I just don’t understand how people with lower stats got in but I got deferred. I seriously lost all of my hope in this shitty admission process. 2 defer’s in 3 days is too much for me. They just lost a really brilliant and driving student. Good for them.

@uclapack That’s awesome. What major?

Who here got accepted in Lincoln Center?
@curiositysquared don’t worry about it with those stats they’ll most likely five u more esp. If u talk to them directly

does anyone know where I can see the total cost of tuition, rooming, books etc all on one page?

Oops I’m sorry I looked at the wrong comment anywau you definitely haD to have had good stats to get 15K to begin with

@Fiona1997 Aww, don’t lose hope! I lost hope after being rejected from my ED school, not even a deferral and I realized how silly it was. There are tons of other schools that I’m sure would love to have you.

@emilyskates in all the colleges I applied/ applying to, Fordham has the highest acceptance rate. I wonder if I’ll be accepted into any school this year.

Accepted Gabelli School of Business RH. Called the office to hear more about financial aid and merit scholarships since I didn’t see any, but they were not helpful. I will wait to see the package I get later on.

@xheki05 you are not locked in until you make a deposit

Deferred…question, does anyone get rejected from EA? Or only deferred?

Late to the party but accepted at Rose Hill with a 15k Dean’s scholarship.
Confused how I got that because I received info concerning a business financial supplement this weekend but I’ll take it. I got into my (very expensive) 1st choice ED school but now Fordham is looking like a much cheaper option now…
Congrats to everyone who applied! You’re all amazing and you’re going to end up somewhere (Fordham or not) that you’ll love!!!

I was accepted with an SAT of 1800, ACT of 26, GPA 3.7 UW and 4.0 W. I had a boatload of ECs and on top of that I have a part time job and have participated in 3 prestigious summer programs at accredited universities. I know showing a lot of interest in Fordham is something they consider, which makes sense because I have visited 4 times. Congrats to everyone who got accepted and good luck to all of the deferred!

Deferred… oh well will be waiting for 4/1 I guess
Gpa: 3.2
SAT superscore: 1910
Lots of EC and leadership positions
