how hard is it to get off of the waitlist?? the letter said approximately 2700 each year accept the offer to remain on the waitlist and “as many as several hundred” are accepted out of that. doesn’t sound good

I got $58,400 in scholarships (national merit)! So thankful–Fordham has quickly become a top contender for me.
To all deferred/rejected - sending love and good vibes. <3

Does the scholarship info come with the acceptance letter? Or is it somewhere else

My merit scholarship came with acceptance letter in the portal. I got an email a few hours later with an honors invite.

@oneiota2 male, straight, Indian. I was kinda surprised but I heard they sometimes waitlist or deny people with a much higher then average sat but thats still disappointing and kinda confusing at the same time. sucks but guess I just gotta wait to see where I hear back from from this point on. Thanks for the reply!

$20k scholarship, but they’re missing other financial aid documents so I don’t have any need-based aid yet (If I don’t get much, it doesn’t look like I can attend because the current estimated cost is more than my parents make :/)

@kenkian Just a student here, but I have done some research on Fordham, so here are some reasons. 1. Fordham is “need aware”, meaning that they accept weaker full pay students over more qualified applicants who need aid. 2. Fordham wants to have a solid yield rate, if you didn’t visit the campus they probably think you wouldn’t go to their school, they do consider level of interest a factor. 3. It could be a lack of ECs/Strong Essay/Rigor in courses. You didn’t specify any of that, but GPA and SAT aren’t the only things a college looks at.

My guess for you though is a combination of 1/2 because 1470 is a great SAT score meaning you’re smart enough to take hard courses in school.
