Fordham University ED/EA class of 2022

Hi high school seniors! This thread is for early applicants to Fordham! Did you apply EA or ED? Which campus did you apply to? How are you feeling about your chances??

My child will be applying EA to Rose Hill. She’s right in their sweet spot so hopefully all will go well.

Yay! Do you know what major she’s going for?

I applied EA for the International Political Economy major @ Rose Hill. Fordham is my dream school so I hope I get in.

i applied EA for an english major at LC! im very nervous…i’d love to attend fordham, but my scores (specifically gpa) aren’t exactly the best. what i have going for me is my essay. my ecs aren’t bad, and i have a good hook. anyway, i wish everyone luck!

My DS may be in the same boat…applied EA for business - good GPA/ACT (but not rock-star), really unusual/solid EC’s that should resonate with a Jesuit University, strong essay, and potential hook…Getting a little nervous and wondering. Do they typically notify EA applicants by 12/19 or is it possible for news before?

I asked a current student and she said it’s most common to hear back the week of 12/19…it’s going to be a long month

Me too! I just joined the Facebook group as a prospect student…the link is at the bottom of the application portal

Hey guys, I just received an email today from Fordham. They told me I will be offered admission next fall! I was wondering if anyone else got a similar email.

@mccl018 I got the same email :-h

That is an odd emoji I take that scary thing back

My daughter receive the same email. That makes for a Happy Thanksgiving! Congratulations to others who heard from Fordham!

Congrats @mccl018 @fog1848 and @relocatedyankee! Did you have really high stats? Or do you think there’s another reason you heard back so early? Portal says decisions will be released online around 12/19, so S wasn’t expecting to hear back for awhile.

My stats were
SAT 1430
GPA 3.89
Tons of EC
Wrote my essay about my job

My stats were
ACT 30
GPA 4.0
Average EC
I think I had a unique essay
Good recommendations

Daughter’s stats were
SAT 1480
UW GPA 3.98
Great essay
Fordham legacy
The acceptance also included an invitation to a “Presidential Reception” in our area that occurs before the mid-December EA release date so perhaps they wanted to notify candidates prior to the reception date. A few other students from her high school also received acceptances yesterday. Very exciting!

Were you guys ED or EA? AND CONGRATS!!!

EA and yes invite to the reception as well

I was also EA and invited to the reception.

Congratulations to all who have heard from Fordham! My D applied EA and has not heard anything. (very high stats)
