<p>Got an email at around 5 saying congratulations once again on your admission to fordham, telling me about the fafsa process. I knew this was a little fishy and it turns out many ea applicants got that email. I then got another email around midnight saying that it was an error and to disregard that communication, it does not reflect my admission status. While on cc I found out that other people who got the first email also got a “whoops” email, but theirs (unlike mine) affirmed the first emails congratulations.</p>
<p>No rejection surprisingly. I got deferred by Fordham today. Does this significantly lower my chances? Or is the regular decision pool basically the same?</p>
<p>It said the deferral automatically put me in the regular decision pool. All they are requesting is my mid year grades, which might actually be a good thing for me considering I got a 3.79 for the first quarter and second quarter GPA will be somewhere in between 3.6-3.9. This should bump me up to a 3.5, turning as pie guy called It my only “real” weakness into a little less of a weakness.</p>
<p>& if the 3.4 wasn’t enough to reject me straight up, I’m thinking that with this semesters GPA being my best/2nd best yet with my most rigorous course load yet, that my chances are looking pretty solid. Then again, my logic is about as biased as it gets.</p>
<p>getting deferred does significantly lower your chances of getting in (for ed it usually drops to 10%) because you’re among the higher caliber applicants who are applying rd. but don’t worry! the chances of getting in are not lost, and because it’s an ea school it’s significantly higher than 10%. send in your midyear grades because those look like they’ll raise your chances significantly, and dont forget to send them a deferral letter! good luck!</p>
