Fordham EA Class of 2020 Discussion Thread

@aznboi4981 I think you will get in!

I hope I get in Fordham EA

Let’s hope tomorrow is the day. If not, then I think we should know by Tuesday. Good luck to you all. Based upon the posts from the last few years, decisions are released after 3 pm.

My portal still hasn’t changed…

@fordhamfamily Have you ever heard of the page popping up the night before decisions come out on the portal? “Account Management” and then it has a link to your application with the status (submitted) and date submitted… If you click on the application link, it takes you to the checklist chart where it shows that everything was received.

Wish tomorrow is the day!

No. I have not. @aznboi4981 But I believe someone above said they had such as early as last week. Don’t fret. I’m sure there is nothing bad to read into it. And let me just say that 2 years ago, many of my son’s friends with very good credentials got deferred to the regular decision pool, but were then accepted. And some even received academic awards.
Fordham has a very large applicant pool. Many use Fordham as a safety school because it has no additional essay. This year is different however in that this is the first year for Ed . I’m not sure how that will affect things. Just be patient and don’t be discouraged if you get a deferral. I know it stinks to have to wait until March for an answer, but Fordham is a great school and is worth the wait. I hope you all get good news this week.

In the likely letter they said they’ll send official letters on the 20th! Not sure if online decisions would be posted the same day though

I have a 3.73 GPA, 1680 SAT some extracurricular activities, however, I spend a great deal of time in my Parish and have wanted to go to Fordham even before I started High School, I really hope I can get in EA, but seeing that a lot of people on here outshine me I don’t think it’s likely, but I still have hope in myself and hope all of you get in as well :smiley:

@LeandroG don’t lose hope! Anything could happen! Pray…pray a lot… I’ve been telling myself all day that no matter what happen tomorrow it has been planed out well by my Heavenly Father and no matter where He wants me to be, I will go.

Thanks, I needed that, it’s just like the people who I’m closest to went to Fordham, and it’s such a good school, but you’re right, if it’s not meant to be then I can’t change that, I’m still going to college regardless, I just hope in the end I turn out alright, thank you :slight_smile:

@LeandroG you’re welcome and good luck!

Do you guys think essay matter ? I spelled a word wrong !! This makes me so nervous. I didn’t receive likely letter. And, I am ASIAN with only 2170 SAT Score. My GPA is only 91. I recently got rejected by Cornell.

@yliuxin oh shut up… what do you mean “only” 2170? It’s good enough… and me as an Asian I never think my race matter to the admission. Being Asian doesn’t make you look bad and I don’t know why so many people feel ashamed and not confident. Chill… you will be fine.

@aznboi4981 so my portal still hasn’t gotten updated…

@Fiona1997 I wouldn’t worry. I got a likely letter and mine isn’t updated either.

@Fiona1997 what are you seeing on your portal now because we have had the same screen since day 1. When we log in it just takes us to the page that shows that they have received all our documents with a checklist and such so would that be what you are looking for? We are still waiting as well.

@Fiona1997 I no longer see the page that I saw last night!! :open_mouth:

@aznboi4981 that’s weird… is it a bug or what?

I can anticipate that the decisions will be today for sure.
