<p>although i was hoping to apply to fordham ea, i was not allowed since i'm a prospective drama major.</p>
<p>however, i still got my app in during november and am wondering when fordham begins to send out regular decisions. i am def. going to need merit aid. i'm a nmsf and it's nice to begin collecting merit aid info asap.</p>
<p>thanks for any input!</p>
<p>ok, first…all national merit semifinalists receive full tuition (minus whatever other grants and scholarships you receive), so you don’t need to worry about paying.</p>
<p>second, regular decision hear back April 1st…they probably will send it out before that though.</p>
<p>“before that” as in february or march 31?</p>
<p>There are a few people who may hear by email just prior to the letters/packages being mailed out the last week in March. But I think its the exception and not the rule. You will definitely hear, along with millions of other students applying to other colleges, before April 1. Then Fordham has an accepted student orientation weekend in early April, which is essentially a presentation on programs, financial aid and meeting faculty and administrators (its very well done), in the hopes you decide to come and will commit before the deadline of May1. If you don’t commit before May1 you “seat” will be gone and they will start calling Wait List people. Its an absolute deadline. Don’t be late by even one minute. </p>
<p>As for drama/dance/theatre majors in Lincoln Center, I don’t know if there is anything sooner than that. You can call Admissions today and ask them.</p>
<p>thanks for the info!</p>
