Hi Chloe
Hi
idk if i should classify fordham as a match school
it has like a 50 something percent acceptance rate
I can’t tell if they still have this policy but does Fordham still give out their free tuition scholarship to NMSFs
yeah but i’m like a average applicant so idk if it’s a reach, i feel like everything i see online is like
oh if u didn’t start a nonprofit u aren’t getting in
Because I’ve been hunting their financial aid page and they don’t mention national merit once
And it’s like Ok.
uhh i’m not sure but ik they claim to be very accommodating
Definitely not
do yk when the decisions r coming out?
How come fordham is ranked so much higher on usnews (97) compared to niche (581)
rankings aren’t always accurate
It says it on the portal
Around December 20
i’m scared 💔
usnews is more accurate so fordham is a t100 ig
so it’s a match school instead of safety
is anyone planning on prelaw for fordham
No 💔
i am, but probably not going
i had a kerfuffle
@fierce nova LC campus is SMALL like extremely tiny
so getting around the campus was really easy, since it was only ~3 main buildings
and they are interconnected from the inside, so you don't need to go onto the LC streets to get around inside the campus
hi fordham besties
im polisci but not prelaw
I need decisions to come out this week 💔💔
me too bro
EA and ED I Decision date is December 20
by December 20
Lmao decisions are coming out today
Source?
I scrolled on the Fordham subreddit and people said they spoke to an admissions officer who said results will start coming at around 4 to 6 pm
😭
they trying to be like georgetown
💀
damn fordham is today
thats crazy
im so excited
i just got an email from my colelge counselor

HELP I GOT IN BUT I WROTE MICHIGAN ON MY FORDHAM SUPPLEMENT
WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK DO THEY NOT READ THESE
bruh i got in last year and i got deferred for this yr 💔
me too, i got deferred
Did no one apply Ed
guys im so perplexed about this fordham situation
what happened
#✨-celebration-station message
its allg tyy
yes, valedictorian
wait that exists
wish i did 🤦♂️
idk if it’s because we won’t know until January with the rest of the finaid info or we all jus didn’t get it
what
help i sent the why is he lying cuz im just making fun cuz i want the scholarship 🤬🤬🤬
like bro is lying…. Hand it over
OH
Sob
😭😭
i am so shocked by all the deferrals
like legitimately almost everyone ive seen talk about their decisions is deferred
AGEEE I GOT INNN
i got deferred and they said i didnt have all the required materials...i uploaded sat to commonapp but didnt realize i also had to do it on portal
silly ahh mistake 🥀💔 i thought this wouldn't matter since theyre test opt tho?
i got into gabelli rose hill!
yay another person at rose hill☺️
Lincoln Center!!
I got inn
SAME!
fordham 🫶
they will send you guys fun stickers keep an eye out
i feel bad though because i applied only because my friends also applied and i was sent a fee waiver, when decisions came out i got in and my friends all got waitlisted 😭😭😭
this is literally what happened to me today lmao i applied on such a whim because it was free
i even wrote the wrong school's name on the supplement
😭
someone did that and was accepted
this year
you have good options
omg who else
LMFAOO
omg real i didnmt know anything about fordham
aid was booty but they were nice and liked my instagram story and replied to it 🥀🥀
except that it’s in nyc 💔
YES LOL
I joined the Fordham tiktok live and someone in the comments said the host was chopped and if Fordham was an ivy
😭😭
???? 😭😭
BYE 😭
somebody who also applied to qb replied to my story and asked if fordham was a QB school 🤦♂️
meanwhile questbridge matches were two weeks ago
Are there any internationals with less than 35k efc who still got in??
did anyone get deferred
a lot of ppl on reddit got deferred
me
bro i’m so cooked
this was supposed to be my safety
community college time
i dont wanna toot ur horn but maybe its yield protection 🤓
ull probably get accepted rd
deferred 🙁
u get in rd trust
ED poll
EA poll
wait so if i got in am i cooked for more competitive schools?
nope i also got into fordham last year and williams is way more selective, this goes for any school but your decision at one doesn’t mean anything for another school
Ahhh okay tysm!
good luck!
are people who got deferred writing the 2 essays on the deferrance form?
i js applied cuz they waived my appli fee but turns out i forgot to submit all my materials so i got deferred...
I'll probably be doing that yeah
writing two separate essays on top of the optional essay I did the first time sucks
is what it is
ED 1 results?
0
0
EA results?
13
22
1
Accepted
i forgot to submit my SAT on my original EA appli which resulted in me being deferred. does this hurt my RD chances because it makes me look careless?
even worse...i didnt do the optional essay in the first EA round and i only applied cuz they sentme a fee waiver 😬
probably not
this hurts your chances but it also doesn’t sound like you are super passionate about the school then right
I forgot i put for check test scores on mine too lol
my friend got in w a 3.2 and like no extracurriculars
and i got deferred w much higher stats
just show your personality i’d say
unfortunately i still want to go so i need to write the essay and everything
how do you know that’s why you got deferred
bc they said i was deferred for insufficient material in the letter
ah i see
there’s a deferral essay so use that
i guess
and then explain extra stuff like your SAT etc in LOCI
i didnt know you had to pay collegeboard money to send them sat…i thought just self report on commonapp was ok
i find it stupid
yup i did the 2 essays and loci, thank you!
you can just self report first unless they require official reports
you dont
they said i did after i sent them an email asking why i was deferred. they said they dont take self reported scores and you need to pay collegeboard to send them your scores instead
wait mb its just cuz i didnt upload onto the website
i said my sat score on my commonapp appli but not int he appli portal
i confused fordham and stony brook
gotchu
this is not true
i got in and i did not
i also got in last year and did not do that lol
i felt bad cause i just did it since they sent me a fee waiver, all my friends applied but they were waitlisted 😭
yeah ik i legit said it sarcastically
did anyone get deferred
and if so
are they doing the 45 sec video submission
and if so
where do i do it i cant find it
and don’t want to email my AO over this
Financial aid coming out soon…
i didnt set up my account
What is that
ngl!
yes
yes
i thought it was 25k a year 😭 i have to pay 50k a year wtfff
damn might be going somewhere else
😭😭
what does the loans section mean
does that mean they are giving me money for loans or i need to give them loans
yeah mine takes too long to load and chrome kills it
probably federal student loans
50k ?????? 😭
????/
that is CRIMINAL
HELPPP
what does this mean
WTFF
bye i don't understand any of this
press more detailed info i guess
wait im confused
why is your cost payable different
i thought that was supposed to show the sticker price
WAIT
im pretty sure you got 54k in aid
you have food and housing and i dont
WTF
i didn tapply for housing
thankfully i got deferred
💀
wait hold on
my food and housing is in my tuition and fees
💀
oh...
im pretty sure your aid is the 35,1000
12.5k merit is literally cruel 😭.
because it says total aid summary
amouru your total aid is 48995
ibuprofen yours is 35100
💀
i think
yeah
😭
yep that
well we expected it itll be okay 🥀
my mom and i got so excited bcs we thought that it was 24k a year not a semester 😭
where is it
orange county
oh orange county
no i didnt because
i already applied to 56 thousand schools
and i applied to lmu which is close enough to orange county
oh deadass
yea
$35k in merit and $30k in need based
doesn’t pitzer have good aid
probably
im visiting it in 4 weekends so i can form my own opinion about it
more than a week lol...
....
prob bc you submitted every school late like
true
now girl
just totally your fault 😭
i know.
heyyy now
and bryn mawr withdrew my app LMAO
i was like damn they closed it that soon??? then u said a whole week
because i submitted it late
😭
HELPPPP WTFFF
a week for that one too??
it’s a deadline for a reason unfortunately
i submitted columbia at 11:57 PM
emily u gotta go
then it was extended for the first time ever
😭
omg
i honestly reused a lot of supps
espec bc i really liked 1 of them
and it was pretty generalizable
oh i defintiely reused a lot
i mostly reused my honors college essays
but i reused less than i thought i would
THERES NO WAY THIS SCHOOL IS 98K AND THEYRE KNLY GIVING ME 40K IN AID
its ok me and you both 💔
this is crazy
wait what are yall looking at
😰
patricia peek needs to stop emailing me
omg 😭
yesterday i was playing a game with my friends and we had to name celebrities
and mine had to start with a P
and i did patricia peek
omg my friend and i talk about patricia peek all the time too
i hate that she deferred me
idk how she has the nerve
i agree.
mind u its particia peek PHD 
at least thats as much as my email's sender section is able to show out of the long ass sender name
yessssss
let’s all attend a spring event together
damn which one
there must be a ñot
lot
i haven’t opened the emails though
i won’t go unless i get a fat scholarship during RD
lmfao that would be funny
gotta digest those spring events
the queen omg
probably
i did one
but since we already had to do the deferral essay it was super short
what did u include in the loci?
i’ll dm u
Hi
when does rd come out
Likely march 13
i heard that some ppl r already receiving decisions do yk if thats true
yes it’s true
they have early acceptances
they had a solid amount for EA too
a good amount of them just did a program at fordham in the summer or smth
don’t stress about it too much
march 14 i heard idk
Last year it was march 14
So that’s why i’m guessing march 13
i lowkey forgot i applied to fordham ❤️
Maybe you can see the Fordham YouTuber
nah fr
it’s suspicious that they ask for css but not idoc LOL
it’s to be more stingy
im here again
im so excited if it comes out tmrw omg
literally my last college i have to hear back from
omg
the process is so close to being over
i knowwww rn my top 2 are hofstra and montclair state
i’m pretty sure it’ll be tomorrow at 4 pm est although not confirmed
yayyyyy
omg
2 months of high school left is actually insane
idk abt fordham yet bc i want to see if i get in or not but if i get into fordham i think itll be top 3 lowk
same with my twin brother
it’s his last school
if he gets in it’ll be between vermont oregon and fordham
yeah for me its between montclair hofstra and pitt, but that could change to montclair, hofstra, and then pitt/fordham
did you get into pitt
yeah i got in but no merit scholarships
i think i’m going to withdraw because it’s not too affordable
yeah i cant go to pitt unfortunately bc i cant afford it, which sucks bc i love the campus
naur u should wait it out
i got $24k a year merit but it’s still $35k a year
yeah + honors
and my mom wants me to go to seton hall and im like mom its literally the same cost as pitt
i HATE seton hall
omg
that school is cursed
and i told her unless by some miracle they give me like at LEAST 15k more im not going
there hasn’t been a day where they haven’t emailed me, my mom, and my dad 3x a day
she thinks the buccino leadership institute will give me more money
and im like no?? thats not how it works LOL
my mom forced me to LOL
lol
my mom was like
are you sure you want to be in NJ
it’s kinda a commuter school
with montclair idm bc i spend so much time in nyc anyways so id probs be going out on the weekends LOL
it’s not confirmed but following EA pattern probably 3 pm est
4*
dam
yo what how did i get waitlisted
got in!
cgs!
twin bro got waitlisted
idc abt fordham im js offended at getting waitlisted at a 60% college
is it out
wl 😭😭
Bruh r they waitlistign evb
waitlisted
can we blame yield protection or am i really that chopped
lowk yeah
bro isnt their average gpa a 3.5 and average sat smth like a 1300
deadass yeah like wtf
@everyone Fordham RD is out! Vote on the poll
am i coping if i say its yield bc like
getting wl from this college is quite worrying
why is everyone turning into northeastern bro
yes omg
Im scared to check
did anyone get the loyola scholarship?
congratulations to those who got in!
and if you did get in, i am curious about your stats
it seems fordham is more selective this year so
congrats guys
yes
100%
unless u had an awful essay or something bcs i do feel like they prioritize writing
so….i treated fordham like a safety and didnt bother writing the essay
🥀💔
ig they saw that i had no demon interest haha i only applied cuz they waived my fee
Ngl im kinda surprised i got in test opt 3.3 gpa
Optional essays aren’t really optional
Just feels like they’re on the application for a reason 😭
got in for urban studies!! first common app acceptance
i didn't either 😭
what were your stats?
youre not too far off, their average gpa is 3.5
yay accepted
its not a surprising acceptance at least
rejecfion is redirection ig
i got in international, 4.2 gpa 1540 sat and ranked around top5% , they did seem to get more competitive this year round
daaang congrats!
thank u, really is such a gamble as an international so im grateful for this option
i thought it came out at 4
3.9 u / 4.3 w
did anyone get scholarships
must wait a week for fin aid </3
I got my financial aid offer a month after my decision
The bigger scholarships are included in the decision letter, but the smaller scholarships are included in your financial aid portal
FULL TUITION SCHOLARSHIO
HOLY SHIT
I GOT THE FORDHAM SCHOLARSHIP
im shellshocked this is crazy
fordham is known for yield
OMG Yay
it said in the letter right
i don’t think i did
yeah def
i don’t think i’d go after visiting campus
i feel bad cuz all 3 of my friends got waitlisted
oh rly? why?
and it was one of my twin brothers tops and i got in and he didn’t 😭
they seem like they really want to separate themselves from the bronx
Holy W
that’s definitely why
oh yeah i’ve heard they’re gated and shit
yeah
im waiting to get my FA back to really know how to feel about it because even with 0 tuition fordham would still be 33k a year LOL
Bru
These nyc schools
Smh
Decisions came out?
what im saying and their housing has a terrible reputation
me too! does anyone know if u have a chance to get more when FA comes out
it says 25k minimum but i feel like its just 25
😭😭
not sure... just wondering what % of applicants get this
says it on their scholarships page
i don’t think i can affordham
I would've rejected a waitlist spot anyways it's ok
i dont think they yield protect that heavily—they give scholarships to those types instead
real they need to tell me soon
yes its prob bc i didnt do opt essay
this is one of my options or CMU full pay rn...
oh
defo so
yea ill get on that
i still have a shit ton of decisions yet
or michigan OOS full pay....
best of luck, you should be proud of yourself
thanks man
for fordham i did business but CMU and Mich i did mathematical sciences and economics
they’ll start sending in around a week
i’m too impatient for this
is the scholarship you get seen in the finaid offer? or if i dont see one in my admissions letter does that mean i didnt get anything
its inthe admissions letter at the very top
rip, ok tyy
it means we didn’t get a large scholarship
i guess
goodbye nyc dreams
ah ok
i dont see any mention of scholarsghips at all so ig i didnt get any 😔
hopefully finaid will be good ...
nah you probably did
most people do
it’s likely just a $10-$20k scholarship that we’ll be able to see once our finaid loads
Whats up guys how did yall do
congrats to everyone who got in to fordham!!! (i got in ea)
oh yeah hes also from fordham
Did you guys commit?
@desert flower @rocky pendant @merry sparrow @white belfry @fleet perch
nope
net price $54k after scholarship
i guess i can ask them for more aid but i doubt it
A number of people got full rides
no, havent gotten fin aid and ive got more decisions coming
What was your GPA?
3.8 uw 4.4 w
either way i don’t think i can afford
gpa was prob weakest part of my app but it’s ok
nah im waiting for my finaid
mine ain’t out yet
was deans the highest
No there are full tuition scholarships dont know the specific name
oh its presidential
deans is second from what it looks like
full tuition is called the fordham scholarship
There is also hispanic and black recognition scholarship
Im 3.93 1560 and I got accepted early action, but im not attending bc of money so u can have my spot or smth. Actually I saw that u didn't write the essay 😭 those highkey aren't optional omg
yeah lowk take my spot too 😭
Nah they didn’t send fin aid packages
What major r u
why does this have a thread
Why not
Neuroscience!
which campus?
me too
This is you @ornate river
if my FA is what i expect it to be i’m gonna commit
Real
Real
what’s the point in sending an email saying financials will be out on friday like lol
forreal
i think it’s starting friday so who knows how long that will take lmao
does anyone wanna make a chat on ig and add people who got it
there’s kinda no point cause we don’t have our packages yet but still
Mines 66k I got 30k in merit
68k a year.. gg go next
28k could be worse!
LMFAO same like???
genuinely how did i get the 12.5k merit one with a 3.82 and a 1530/34 lol
10k scholarship + 32k grant but still i don't want to pay all that
i got same grant yea
they gave me 42k i also need to appeal
does anyone know if the need-based grant will decrease if i no longer want housing
i'll commute cause i can barely even afford the tuition
Gonna appeal
Did u draft a leteyr or email yet or na
id rather appeal for more need based than merit
Ima js appeal for whatever
They wanna give me i js need more money
😭🙏
Nah idk how to do it
Like what to specifically say and if it’s better to email or call
I don’t qualify for need based 😭
oh dear 😭
I mean they gave me a good amount of merit which makes it affordable but it’s still 20k more than my state school (Rutgers) which is 42k after merit and I wanna see if I can get Fordham somewhat within 40-60k rn it’s 66
Same
Are u just gonna email the fin aid office
Yea
I searched up sum templates
And asked gemni for help

georgetown is 900
the number is subtracted out of your fees when you actually start though
fordham needs to chill
its asking ppl on the waitlist to submit a supplemental video
Submit it!
got in off the waitlist! did not submit test scores or a supplemental vid
yay, did you write a loci
i did the waitlist form but that was it
i did supp on the main app, deferral form, and waitlist form
deferral to waitlist is brutal
oh i cried over it LMAO
Fordham college or Gabelli?
college!
Thank you 🙏
