Fordham University Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

@cordellheckel congrats on your acceptance? Did you transfer in or are you a freshman?

@tigerbear21 I think you have an extremely high chance of acceptance with those grades! I currently have 4 A’s and 1 C. The C is in Calculus so I hope that the committee will take the rigor of the course into consideration… I have never been the greatest at math. I spoke to Mark Ciolli yesterday and he said that I will find out my admission decision on Friday :smiley:

@brookecandy Did he send you a response confirming he got your midterm report when you emailed it to him?

Hopefully I hear (and get accepted lol) Friday too!

@tigerbear21 I e-mailed the mid-term report to the email address listed in the e-mail, I think it was adoperations or something like that, then emailed him to ask a roundabout date of when I will receive a response.
I’ve got my fingers crossed for both of us!!! I think we would make great Rams lol :smiley:

@brookecandy whoops didn’t even realize the adoperations email and just sent right to mark. Sending to adoperations now. When you emailed mark did you get a response or no?

I agree that we’d be great Rams!

Just got word from Mark that I’ll find out tomorrow. Extremely nervous.

Good luck guys, hope you get accepted!

@sikcjor thank you so much! hopefully all goes well. I’m both optimistic and VERY nervous

anxiously refreshing my email all day… lol

I’ve been accepted to LC with housing!!!

@brookecandy congrats! still no email/portal update here. if you don’t mind what letter does your last name start with? thinking maybe it’s an alphabetical thing

Still no word here :S

I just have a question, I sent in my application a couple days ago, how long will it take to receive the email for the app portal?

Hey everyone! I finally sent in my application yesterday to transfer to LC for Communications! I should have sent it in weeks ago, but I was so nervous and just waited even though my application was already complete! But now that a lot of people have heard back, do you guys think I’ll still get in?

I mentioned strongly in my personal statement that I spent my recent spring break helping build homes in Louisiana instead of “partying on the beach.” i know Fordham wants people who do service so I figured I’d mention it. I’m also the VP of my school’s advertising club which takes up 90% of my time when trying to build a campaign for competitions, and then I’m in a few other clubs.

But my grades are not that strong! Freshman year I only got about a 3.4 GPA after my grandfather was fighting a battle with cancer that entire year, that he eventually lost. I had trouble with assignments and whatnot after going back and forth to the hospital. On top of this, I also have ADHD and a Processing disorder, so school does not come the easiest for me to begin with. I mentioned this in the extenuating circumstance portion of my application, so hopefully they looked at it!
My GPA is now a cumulative of literally 3.499999, BUT last semester I had a GPA of 3.77 for that semester alone so I’m hoping they’ll notice the rise.

Do you guys think I have a shot? Thanks! And congrats to everyone as well!

Hi guys, I just had a quick question pertaining to gpa, what is the absolute lowest they’ll accept? I’m kinda worried because I had a horrible class with a horrible teacher this year that kinda tanked my gpa. I would absolutely LOVE to go to Fordham so is there anything I can do to counteract my low gpa?

Also I know some websites say 3.0 but I feel like that is a little low
