<p>Fordham financial aid came thru in a big way and my D will be headed to Fordham! She is thrilled!</p>
<p>Congrats to your Daughter!! Hope she enjoys it!</p>
<p>Congrats! Get that deposit in soon, and start thinking about dorms.</p>
<p>If you don’t mind me asking, how much did your daughter get?</p>
<p>By the way, congratulations!</p>
<p>I guess that we should be getting ours any day now. Fingers crossed ours looks good too.</p>
<p>We have not heard anything about financial aid yet, either. :/</p>
<p>Congrats! :3</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! I think most people are going to hear around april 1st but im not sure about that.</p>
<p>Welcome to the Fordham family! Its a fabulous school, both Lincoln Center and Rose Hill (Gabelli school or Fordham college.) </p>
<p>The batches are being mailed today and tomorrow and early next week. The acceptances generally go out first, the rejections generally last. Most will hear early next week, and the rest at the end of the week. You have until May 1 to pull the trigger or go elsewhere.</p>
<p>Good luck to all.</p>
<p>If waitlisted do NOT panic just yet. They go to the waitlist every year, though most tend to be commuters. If you are accepted get the deposit on time, not one minute late.</p>
<p>you have been a great source of info thanks. if wait listed, how deep will they go?</p>
<p>^^^That can never be predicted as it largely depends on how many people accept Fordham’s offer of admission.</p>
<p>By the way…I am reporting only anecdotal information. I am not an insider and don’t have the inside scoop on this year’s batches. Just how they normally do things…mail on a Friday, Saturday and Monday…the last week of March, such that everyone has an answer in hand on or before April 1, depending on how the calendar is that year. </p>
<p>Not saying all acceptances go first and all rejections go last, but that is typically how they do things…could change this year, I don’t know. </p>
<p>Fordham won’t go to the waitlist until they know for sure what the yield is. And that is typically not known until the first week of May. If you are waitlisted and not a commuter, then I suggest going to plan B. If you are waitlisted and live nearby and can commute, then I suggest you call Fordham after April 15 and again after May 1 to see what the yield looks like and what your chances are of getting in. Its all about dorm space and program limits. Its not an exact science.</p>
<p>Scholarship letter arrived in the mail today.</p>
<p>Congrats & Welcome to the Fordham family…a quick story…</p>
<p>I an Fordham College calls of '76 and have been a passionate, active alum ever since even after 2 post graduate schools. I have been going to local HS college fairs in support of the FAST program for over 30 years. My D, who I am very proud of and quite smart, saw some 40 colleges (her mom and I saw a lot of schools) and she applied to: Marist, Fairfiled, Scranton and Manhattan as safe schools, Villanova, Boston U, NYU and Fordham as schools in her GPA/SAT range and Lehigh as a stretch. She didn’t apply to some great schools that surprised her mom and I, but the decision was hers. She got into all but waitlisted for Lehigh. Now, as a die hard Ram fan for most of my adult life, she made fun of my school. The she visited it, spoke to other students and made up her own mind. She got generous packages from many schools and waws heavily recruited by one school…but in the end, she surprised the heck out of all of us: it was Fordham!!!</p>
<p>She is in her junior year, she changed her major 3 times but finally selected one field, has had 3 fantastic internships, has at least one company ready to hire her when she graduates, has been to New Orleans twice with her academic fraternity and has a bright future ahead of her. For her as for me and for many thousands, Fordham was the best thing to happen to us!!</p>
<p>Congrats! Fordham is the bomb :D</p>
