@gothgirl @shnj201 I don’t know if this helps but I sat down with someone at financial aid and expressed my concerns about the financial situation with transferring. The counselor specifically said there are “need based aid, grants, and scholarships” available for transfers. Hopefully that is the case because scholarships would seriously help.
Does anyone know the best way we can start looking for potential roommates? I can’t find a facebook group or anything
I just found out yesterday that I was accepted into the Gabelli School of Business with housing. They really mean it when they say that they use a holistic process in reviewing the application
I have 34 credits from my current college and on the process of taking 13 more. Current college GPA is 3.3, and will be around 3.5 once the semester ends. Strong midterm report, very strong personal statement, and letter of recommendation.
My high school was a joke, and I’m not even entirely sure what my GPA was, but it was definitely below 3.0. No SAT’s.

Has anyone received any financial aid information yet? I noticed some changes in the messages section of the FA portal but no actual financial aid package yet.
I still haven’t even gotten an admission decision! I applied March 3rd
@jacobtylamb They told me what the name of the scholarship it is I got but not the dollar amount.
@Jmercy199 did you make sure that they got everything they needed. You can check on the application status portal. They didn’t give me a decision until they received transfer midterm report, college report etc…
@Probkas1997 Yea! Everything has been checked off for weeks.
I got my financial aid package today! BUT they told me that they would have to re-do it because I’ve decided to live off campus
@jacobtylamb Do you think that means they’ll give less money? I applied and got accepted with housing but I want to commute from home so I can get that 7,000 dollar grant. I can only pay 20,000 to go and with what they gave me and adding on directly that grant I have 22,500 to pay. I need to work that down but I’m honestly going to be really thrown off if they give me less as a commuter.
@jacobtylamb Looks like your long wait has finally paid off! fingers-crossed, you get a good commuter package from Fordham good luck
@daniellelsa I was actually on campus today and spoke with them. She said she didn’t “think” my tuition grant would change, but obviously I would lose my room and board grant. You have to change the housing status in the applicant portal and on your fafsa for them to properly repackage you. Good luck to you!
@CollegeGuruEast Thank you! I hope so too!
Just got my acceptance to Fordham Lincoln Center! For some reason my my.fordham page won’t load
@jacobtylamb Okay thanks! Im going to go into the financial aid office and discuss everything with them hopefully next week.
I was admitted to Fordham College at rose hill and it says I did not receive any scholarships because its based on need. Has anyone heard of anyone getting more aid later once they have seen how many freshmen are attending and how much money they have left to give?
I got accepted to Rose Hill! Just waiting on financial aid. I also got “university housing” but I am concerned that this will mean off campus housing. Anyone know if they offer a lot of transfer students on campus housing or not?
Hey y’all! I was accepted to Fordham Lincoln Center and i’m looking for a roommate for on campus housing. My instagram is @insydeous if anyone is interested
If you dont mind me asking, what was your gpa? I am really depending on a scholarship and would like to know my chances. Thanks! @gothgirl
Does anyone know what the deadline is to commit as a transfer?
Transfer deposit deadline is June 1. https://www.fordham.edu/info/20543/transfer_students
