Presidential scholarship

Hi! I’m really interested in attending Fordham, and the presidential scholarship would seal the deal. Right now I’m in a situation where my in state school is a lot cheaper and is compatible in quality in what I want to study. If anyone could provide insight on my chances, it would be much appreciated.
ACT: 36
GPA : w 4.7 uw 4.0
I got into gabelli at LC ea with the deans scholarship for 30,000 and got into the Global Business honors program which sounds really exciting!
I am captian of the scholastic Bowl team and have played a varsity sport for three years and am the captian of my travel team that I’ve been in loved with for 8 years.
I am also involved in best buddies, a member of NHS, taken/taking 12 AP’s and have received 5’s on a lot

Thank you!

@norq2000 Your GPA is exceptional but your perfect ACT score puts you above most other candidates so I think you have a really great chance!

You mentioned receiving the Dean’s scholarship but was that in addition to financial aid? Or was the $30,000 merit aid the total amount of money you’ve gotten so far?

It was all merit money I believe. Thank you!

@norq2000 Do you know that the Presidential Scholarships have NOT been awarded yet? My S18 has stats similar to yours and received the National Merit scholarship. I had assumed that the Presidential Scholarship was awarded at time of acceptance (in our case EA) and that my S did not receive it.

@appalachymom hi! It says on the website under the scholarship description that they notify you on April 1st, so I’m assuming they haven’t told anyone yet

I think most schools award presidential scholarship in late March or early April after regular decisions are out. Your stats and ECs are impressive.

Wondering who has decided to attend Fordham from the group – particularly those admitted to the Business Honors program?

@norq2000 Did you decide to attend Fordham?
