Congrats! I applied EA as well but haven’t heard anything back. Is there any change to the portal? And which area are you from? I am from CA.
I am from MA and I do not think there was a change to the portal, but I did not check it very my previously.
No change in portal, the email says the “acceptance letter will be available in your applicant portal in mid-December. Again congratulations.” I do speculate that they were trying to give students for whom a decision had already been made the chance to attend the receptions that preceded the traditional EA release date. Fog1848 is from MA and Boston reception is on Dec. 7th. We are from CT and Hartford reception is Dec. 6th. We would have been sorry to miss out on the opportunity and are so pleased that Fordham gave this some forethought!
I’m also from MA! I’m glad they gave us the opportunity.
Does anyone know if there will be a second wave where they will be sending out more letters or if they have sent all of them yet?
I applied EA and just got an email yesterday saying I was accepted as well! Was a big shock considering we aren’t supposed to hear back from Dec 19th. What are everyone’s thoughts on attending the regional receptions (CT)- should I go? I was so excited to hear back from my first college and got worried that it was a fluke or something!
Sounds like these emails were definitely regional and that those outside the regions should not expect to hear early. I, too, agree that it’s a wonderful choice on Fordham’s part to think ahead like that.
Does anyone know if there is a way to look up the reception dates by area? Or did you find out the date via your acceptance email?
When did you guys applied EA?
I applied last minute oct 31
Did anybody got a response from New York?
did anyone hear today?
Has anyone from the South heard anything?
@Kayak24 Presidents Receptions are listed with Alumni events, as best I can tell. Doesn’t look like there are any near my family.
I submitted my application on November 1 and I received my acceptance email on November 20th. I also got invited to a Presidential Reception in my area, but by the time I saw the email it said the event registration was closed because the event was full. However, I might call admissions to see if I could be put on a waitlist for the event.
My stats were:
SAT 1460 (superscored)
ACT 33 composite
W GPA 4.12
I think I had a unique essay
Private Catholic school with a high matriculation of students to Fordham
I am seriously considering Fordham, but I will wait to see what my scholarship/financial aid package looks like come December 19! Good luck everyone!

My D applied EA Nov 1. We have yet to hear from them.
