Fordham Transfer Students Fall 2011

<p>@coto You got accepted already, right? How did you they notify you–email or mail? Did you apply to LC or RH? Did they send you your FA info with your acceptance? Did you hear anything at all from them before getting accepted?
Sorry for all the questions…I almost feel like I’m interviewing you, lol.</p>

<p>ACCEPTED!!! I received my email today literally ten minutes after I got off the phone with admissions. In my email it didn’t mention anything about housing so I emailed kara stone asap and she said unfortunatley there are no spots in "9 for housing however they expect spots to open and that she put my name on a waiting list and I should find out as soon as possible. Eventhought it is bitter sweet right now I have faith ill get housing. My mom is going to call res life tomorrow. So happy!! Good luck everyone</p>

<p>I meant to say Lincoln Center</p>

<p>Congratulations, srivera! After reading that post I furiously refreshed my inbox. Nothing.
COME ON, FORDHAM.</p>

<p>Are RH students accepted via e-mail as well or only via mail? Thanks.</p>

<p>It seems like we are required to call the admissions office before being notified of our decision.</p>

<p>Seems pretty lame.</p>

<p>well for those LC’ers i feel like they really dont no what is going on because Kara Stone is at Rose Hill… so today i called the Rose Hill Campus instead and asked to speak with her but the man i was talking to said that she was in a meeting and asked if he could help. so i told him the situation and everything and he said that i should be hearing by the end of the week. i tried asking if u could say if its a good/bad thing and he was like dont worry, you will here by the end of the week… so literally 20 min later i got my acceptance email. however i am not guaranteed housing yet so its difficult… im really hoping i get it… kara told me she put me on the wait list and thinks there will be openings and that she will tell me soon. keeping fingers crossed!!</p>

<p>jpozz i remember earlier in the chat u said u were offered housing… which campus did u apply to?</p>

<p>I emailed Kara Stone yesterday asking why I never received any information about the application status website like the letter said I would. She got back to me today and informed me that they are missing my college transcript, which was sent by my school on February 24th. (the actual app wasn’t sent until the end of march)</p>

<p>I had another copy sent via US mail anyway and then I faxed over a copy of my unofficial transcript. I might try calling them tomorrow because some people hear seem to have had lick with that, not really sure what to say though.</p>

<p>Srivera, I was offered housing at the Rose Hill Campus. However, Congratulations on your acceptance! You must be relieved and I am sure a housing assignment will open for you.</p>

<p>Was anyone accepted to Rose Hill without housing?</p>

<p>jpozz!!! thank you so much!!! im so excited and i really wanna go! hopefully a spot opens my mom is gonna call res life manana to see if they can work something out… i mean they never fill the building to capacity so there must be a spot for me u no! im so excited and i really cant wait! i was thinking about changing to RH but i really wanna be in LC</p>

<p>No problem srivera!!! Alright well I hope everything works. Also the Rose Hill campus is a great alternative which I happen to like a lot better than Lincoln Center</p>

<p>@benellis Same thing happened to me, even though my school confirms they sent out the transcript back in February. Fordham didn’t even tell me they were missing my transcript. If I hadn’t emailed Kara Stone I never would’ve known. Anyway, I just told my school to send it again. This is kind of ridiculous though.</p>

<p>@Cloudyafternoons and Benellis: SAME EXACT thing happened to me as well! I was extremely upset and disappointed to find out that Fordham lost both my college and high school transcripts. I knew they received them because I paid extra money to send them certified mail return receipt requested from the post office, so someone in the admissions office signed for it. I could not believe that Fordham took absolutely no initiative to let me know that they were missing these items, or what items at all they did receive (something that all of the other schools I applied to did, either through a login or email) If it wasn’t for me constantly calling and emailing Kara Stone being curious about my application status, they clearly would have never notified me. After the issue was resolved, I received an e-mail directly from Kara Stone herself like 5 minutes after getting off the phone with her…Sounds like an extremely ridiculous and inefficient way to be admitting people…</p>

<p>Oh wow, I’m definitely call tomorrow. I doubt that has anything to do with it thought…</p>

<p>im sad… i really hope i get housing at LC</p>

<p>@ trakke I was accepted to RH campus via email
@cloudy lol don’t worry about asking me. Im really here to help you guys now since i’ve already been accepted. I received my admissions decision through an email from Kara Stone. I did not get my FA package but i believe they sent it at the beginning of this week. As for hearing from fordham before i was accepted i was only told that i would get my decision in may or early june, which was 40 minutes before i received my admissions email
@srivera Congrats!! and im almost sure that you will get housing. You are probably on the top part of the wait list since Fordham and is still accepting transfer applications and more than likely not all of the freshman they accepted will go to Fordham.</p>

<p>Just for everyone to know, i got my transfer evaluation today, and all but 2 of my classes are looking like they will transfer, and when i have my meeting with dean burke i think i am going to be able to get at least another. That being said i go to a state university so it may not be the same situation for some of you. Hope this helps</p>

<p>@Coto: You’re lucky. I go to a state university as well and I only got an estimate of 6 credits transferring…</p>

<p>@coto On the transfer eval is there any mention of the classes you are currently taking? I know my calc, Econ, and stats classes should transfer but I didn’t see anything about them on the sheet. </p>

<p>Also, does anyone have a date to decide? Dye for housing deposit? Etc.</p>

<p>coto thank you so much!! i am very excited and so ready to go to Fordham!! i really pray i can get housing… i just hope i hear as soon as possible because i do have to make decisions for other schools and i want to no at what point they close the waiting list for housing you no?</p>
