The answer is 48 last year (out of 2600)
Does anyone know Fordhamâs policy on outside scholarships and their effect on merit scholarship amounts. Will they subtract outside money from a full tuition scholarship?
If the outside aid is tuition specific it would reduce your full tuition award dollar for dollar. If it is non-tuition specific only half would be used to reduce your full tuition award. It should also state this in your award letter. This is how it affected us the last three years. Daughter will be a senior in the fall.
@InlandNW
Not true about food in that neighborhood. For starters, there is Whole Foods at Columbus Circle, and Trader Joeâs due to open soon on 55th and Broadway.
My DS had a 1270 and a 3.5 gpa and was waitlisted. My husband and I are BOTH alumni and he didnât get in! I am SURE it is because we would need considerable FA for him to go.
Has anyoneâs kid attended Spring Preview/Fordham Experience this spring? My S received the invitation along with an offer to cover his travel expenses. The invitation said the offer to cover expenses was not extended to all accepted students. Iâm just trying to get a gauge.
My D did not receive an offer of travel $ but we live in CT. She received a full tuition scholarship and GBHP invite.
For anyone waiting, I put a financial aid appeal in on 4/2, received email notification today that we will receive no additional aid. At least they got back to us in time for the deadline!
@cllp2023 Iâm glad they got back to you pretty quickly, but sorry you did not receive additional FA. We submitted Sâs FA appeal 4/8. He is on his way to Spring Preview tonight and will follow up with FA office when he is there tomorrow. Praying for a miracle and that Sâs appointment will go well.
S18 Accepted Fordham offer today. Gabelli - Lincoln Center.
1470 sat, 3.5 uw at pretty rigorous prep school.
Applied RD because Fordham wasnât even on our radar at first. His best friend got very attractive EA package (RH campus) and so he applied as an afterthought.
After visits/revisits he chose Fordham over other opportunities (U Washington (instate), U Miami, CU Boulder, Binghampton U (instate), UC Santa Cruz, U Arizona).
Fordham was very responsive to our needs and did a lot to bring that gargantuan COA down to something remotely manageable.
We are very excited and will see some of you at Lincoln Center in the fall!
Has anyone heard any news about waitlist movement?
@actinghopeful20 i have and i got in!
I just got in!
Iâm waitlisted but still havenât heard anything back yet 
Keeping my fingers crossed
Son just got off the waitlist into GBS Finance RH with Housing. It came late afternoon Monday May 20th. 3.3 GPA 1260 SAT all Honors and 3 AP. All boy Catholic High school in MA. No financial or Merit Aid. We are trying for any morsel of aid at this point but not hopeful.
