Hi guys! I am also transferring to Fordham LC from Santa Clara University, California. To the guy who is doing an internal transfer, what is so different about it, why are students going to the Rose hill campus?
Thanks,
Best of Luck!

@elensour94‌ I think the most common reason for students transferring to the Rose Hill Campus is that they want that traditional college feel. Rose Hill is a traditional campus while Lincoln Center is an urban campus. A lot of kids realize that they don’t like the urban campus and want a traditional one. Ironically enough, I’m the other way around. I’ve spent my freshman year at a traditional campus (St. John’s) and am craving life in the heart of Manhattan at LC! Best of luck in the transfer process. Hope to be your classmate in the future!

I emailed them and they said that the first decisions will be sent out April 10th.
@keepdreamin1023 you have a great chance

30

@sikcjor‌ did they say what determines if you’re included in the ‘first decisions’ group by any chance?

31

@tigerbear21 Well initially he(Mark Ciolli) told me that if you have an application on file before they begin evaluating in mid-march you will know by the end of march, which he later pushed to April 10th. So I’m assuming if you had your application on file before they began evaluating then you should know by then, which I’m hoping for!

32

@sikcjor‌ he told me the same thing originally hahah here’s hoping we both get acceptance letters by the end of the week!

33

@tigerbear21‌ Yeah hopefully! tired of waiting, but its earlier than most other schools so that’s a good thing.

34

@sikcjor‌ me too hahah. do you plan on attending if admitted?

35

@tigerbear21 Yeah most likely, I applied to 9 schools total(for business). If i get admitted to fordham i will probably attend, unless i got into NYU, but the business school at NYU has around a 2% acceptance rate. So im hoping for fordham!
What about you?

36

Hi everybody! I completed my transfer application to Fordham back in early February! I’m applying from the University of Tennessee. Here’s hoping for good news at the end of the week!

37

@sikcjor‌ definitely!

@erinhhill‌ hopefully! which school did you apply to and what major?

38

Rose Hill campus in Psychology! Although I’ve been thinking about changing to a Communications major if I’m accepted.

39

@erinhhill‌ are you a sophomore or junior transfer?

@tigerbear21 Sophomore!
