ZERO merit is this a joke?
Just info on how to finance Fordham with loans
Wooo Accepted!
I need to call the office tomorrow because I really don’t know why they deferred mine. 3.95 UW GPA, #3 in my class. Class VP, NHS President, Key Club Secretary, Ambassador of NSHSS, 3 years of Varsity tennis, Opera Actress… And I’m Catholic from a Catholic HS…
@Blueberry42 Didn’t see anything about it- do they have an honors program??
@Fiona1997 What was your SAT?
Can someone give me some insight on why I was deferred from Gabelli?
I have a 33 ACT, 3.7/4.6 GPA
I have a ton of ECs- leadership, 7 year member of NCL, and I play multiple sports
I received a letter saying application fee was waived because they wanted me to apply early (if that makes a difference)
My grandfather also attended Fordham Prep, Fordham, and Fordham law school.
@kh7311 I don’t think anyone can really tell you why. I know Gabelli is big with the math scores, so it could be whatever the math score on your ACT. But it’s really just speculation.
Truthfully this seems a bit confusing to me. My son was deferred from NEU and I could see the acceptances and stats and I could honestly say I didn’t see any acceptances with test scores in his range. So, obviously that made a difference and if we looked at it in the best light, it is actually a positive that they even deferred him. However, I’m not seeing that with the posts here. I realize it’s a small sampling, but some of this defies explanation.
@Reader13 My math subscore was a 31. Perhaps it was due to a C in my freshman math course due concussion I received? Anyways, thanks for the response!
Accepted to the business school
30 ACT, 3.7 UW/4.52 W
Senate Page Program and other high profile ECs
@kh7311 No problem. But yeah, it’s all up to chance sometimes.
@CaMidwestMom Welcome to admissions, where rules are set and everything else is arbitrary. In all seriousness, a lot of people here have similar scores and stats etc, so it’s highly possible that too many people matched up with each other and something in the application made or broke them and got them deferred. What it is, i wouldn’t know. You’re also forgetting one element of which I will not speak of here because I don’t want to offend anyone.
Could someone give some insight on where scholarship information is posted???
@Reader13 I have 1850… 530 CR, 620 W, 700 M… my reading is really bad since my first language is Chinese…
Accepted to Fordham College at Rose Hill! Ecstatic!
GPA: 3.8 UW
ACT: 32
SAT: 1350 (CR and M)
Strong ECs and leadership throughout high school
Got in ED to Rose Hill!!! 3.5 W GPA and 1860 SAT. Great extracurriculars and letters of rec, and lots of legacy. I think applying ED really helped… also got $20,000 per year in financial aid and scholarships.
@Fiona1997 That’s pretty good. Honestly, when I applied, I kept getting told I had a low shot. my stats were Sat 1800 with CR:640 590 W 570 M. My ACT was 26 and my GPA was like 3.5. I applied RD though, because i knew I wouldn’t get in EA.
I think you have a shot at RD, really. Just don’t give up. I’m sure you’ll get accepted somewhere.
Accepted to Gabelli @ Rose Hill with a full scholarship!
1400 SAT (CR + M)

Got the $15,000 a year scholarship
I’ve been following this discussion for months now and I was totally convinced that I’d be deferred but I got accepted EA to Rose Hill
idk why the rest of my comment didn’t post but I come from a very competitive school and I’m in the 3rd decile
GPA: 3.74 UW 3.82 W
SAT: 2010
ACT: 29
only 2 APs so I’m really surprised I got in! decent ECs, varsity athlete for 3 years, volleyball captain, art honor society, Spanish honor society, NHS
no scholarship though which means it’s out of the question but I’m hoping maybe it’s just delayed and I’ll get something with my financial aid package!
