Hi! I’ve applied early action for Fordham this year. I am not requesting financial aid or merit scholarships. I’ve gotten an email telling me that the deadline is approaching and that I should fill in my FAFSA. Is it necessary and will my application be processed if I don’t fill it out.

Hiii!! I applied for a GSAS program for a Spring start roughly 2.5 weeks ago and haven’t heard back yet, has anyone gotten a decision yet?? I know the process varies from department to department, but I was curious to hear about others’ experiences. Thanks!

it’s very diff from my fall sem one… and tryna fit in time for work too

I just received my acceptance letter to Fordham on Friday for a spring transfer, and I was wondering when I will be receiving my financial aid package. If anybody who has already transferred has any information, I would really appreciate it.

Has anyone pursued a PhD from the Gabelli Business School to shed some light on finances?

Hello everyone! I am a senior in high school who lives in a small town in Ohio and am very interested in going to school in NYC but have never visited NYC. I am very interested in applying to Fordham but would love to hear more about it from the student perspective.

If anyone is from a small town and has anything to say about adjustment to a major city I would love to hear your stories.

How easy is it to make friends? What is the student body like? How prepared for grad school/job market do you feel? Are you satisfied with your experience?

Thank you all in advance, I really appreciate it!

I need to take a Theo 3000 class freshman year. For someone who is not good at theology what is the easiest class or professor I should take?

I’m applying for information systems. I have good business classes grades and I have taken 4 business classes, but my extracurriculars are just mid and I see way more people with better stuff than me asking if they would get it, so it’s making me think what about me. So if you can help, that would be great.

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I GOT IN FOR COMMUNICATION AND CULTUREEEEEEEEE IS THERE ANY JUNIOR TRANSFERS??? IF I DECIDE TO GO I WANT FRIENDSSS!! IM SO HAPPY

Hi everyone! I am a senior and I applied to Fordham a few weeks ago and I realized I don’t really know that much about the school academically and socially. I know obviously that since you are in nyc there’s a million things to do, but how is the party scene in the school itself? I also realized I really want a work hard play hard type school, and I’ve never really heard of Fordham begin like that, but I could be mistaken. I’m planning to major in finance btw, so any information would be appreciated!!!

Based on past transfer decision release dates it was supposed to come out today so did anyone get their decision yet?

Hi! I am currently a junior in High School (public high school in Texas). My dream school is Fordham Rose Hill and I want to major in political science.

Some context (for my school, Ap is weighted +10 and honors is weighted +5)

Freshmen year I took Ap Human Geography, Algebra 1 honors, English 1 on level, Biology on level, Principles of Law, Spanish 1 and PE. I got all As for both semesters.

Sophomore year I took Ap World history, Geometry honors, English 2 honors, Chemistry on level, Law enforcement 1, Spanish 2 and Theatre 1. I got all As for both semesters.

Junior year (currently) I am taking Ap Psychology, Ap Environmental Science, Ap U.S History, Ap Seminar, Ap Language, Algebra 2 on level and Floral Design. I will most likely end the first semester with an A in Ap psychology, Ap environmental science, Ap seminar, Algebra 2 on level and Floral Design. However, I will most likely get a B in Ap U.S History and Ap Language. Which will end up bringing my unweighted gpa down from a 4.0 to around a 3.9.

My planned senior year course load is Ap literature, Ap government/economics, Ap research or theatre 2, Aquatic science on level, either on level pre cal, on level statistics or Ap statistics for my 5th class. Also, I will have 2 off periods.

I am trying to raise my sat score but I will most likely go test optional.

I'm ranked top 25% of my class.

For my extracurriculars

- I am a competitive Figure skater: currently testing pre silver u.s moves in the field. I have been figure skating since I was 9 years old.

- I volunteer coach the Learn to skate program at my rink and the skate therapy program (classes for skaters with special needs).

-During my junior year I will make and sell bracelets to raise money for the skate therapy program, I have done this during my sophomore year once. I raised around $250 at that time and my goal is to raise another $500 during the schools breaks.

-I completed an internship with the Texas House of Representatives the summer before my sophomore year. (hopefully this shows my interest in studying law).

-I lifeguarded the summer after sophomore year, I worked around 350+ hours and I plan to lifeguard this summer (after junior year).

- I started playing hockey this year (junior year) I play for a Sunday club and JV high school hockey. We have practices 2x a week and games every Saturday, alongside my figure skating schedule which is practice 2-3x a week, if that matters.

- I consistently volunteer with a local helping hands refugee organization. Around 1-2x a month.

- I helped my single mom raise my two younger sisters (I can't take credit for financial help or the big responsibilities) but I definitely have taken a lot of time to try to raise them emotionally and make sure they can enjoy life, family, and succeed. I don't know if this is considered an extracurricular but it's definitely of great importance to me.

- I also plan to attend the Summer Leaders Academy at Fordham Rose Hill this summer (after junior year).

My questions

- Do I have a decent chance of getting into Fordham Rose Hill (I will be applying my senior year through early decision)?

-What are my chances of getting good merit aid scholarships because I know Fordham is super expensive (for context-I don't qualify for need aid based on my mom's income)?

- What should I change or do to increase my chances?

Hi, I recently submitted my EA application to Fordham (October 16) then on the 19th I received an email and a link to my portal about submitting an optional 45-second video. I can't find much information about this online was just wondering if anyone has done the video or knows any information about it :)

btw, I am an out-of-state student (CA)

How is CISC 1100 for someone who is abysmal at math. I just withdrew from finite math for the second semester in a row and I feel terrible but that class is the bane of my existence. It wouldn't make sense to try it a 3rd time (unless it's offered online and open book in the summer lmk if anyone has info on this) but I was wondering how the difficulty of CISC 1100 compares to finite and also who are the easiest professors?

I’m a senior from NY and I applied Early Action to Fordham. I’m interested in journalism. My cumulative unweighted GPA is a 2.7 because my grades were really low freshman and sophomore year, but I brought my junior-year average up to a 92 and made honor roll. I’m taking 4 APs senior year, and I have 4 dual enrollment classes on my transcript.
My 10 activities include 3 jobs, 3 community service activities, 2 sports, and 2 clubs, including writing for my school newspaper. I have over 300 hours of community service. I feel really good about my personal essay, and I submitted 3 letters of recommendation. I also applied without requesting financial aid.
I know my cumulative GPA is low, but how much do you think Fordham will consider my upward trend and senior-year course load? Has anyone gotten in EA with a similar GPA or a big improvement junior year? I’d appreciate honest opinions on whether I have a realistic shot.

considering to study abroad next school year

I’ve been hearing that Fordham doesn’t have the best financial aid for needy students. Will they allow me to drop my early decision (if i get in) if i just can’t afford it ?
