Hey does anyone know if Fordham is still sending out acceptances
I had a date change on the Fordham portal a week ago and no news since
16:21
Omg @optimus congrats!!!
Thank you!
Does anyone know how full the class is / how many seats are available :$
17:20
@GarrulousThirstyLionfish: I would love to know this as well... Are we dealing with 2 slots open that are rotating through waitlist "waves" or are we dealing with 20?
17:20
The waitlist appears large.
any updates on the WL?
11:53
Got a feeler call this morning, sounds like they need to fill some seats. I withdrew tho
Thanks for the update!
Anyone else get the feeler email?
20:15
Today?
Immaterialcobweb
20:59
Yeah. Seems like a lot of people got it- more than 50. I dont really think it means too much tbh
21:03
Hopefully some people withdrew and that number dwindled significantly.
Anyone hear anything since the feeler email?
nothing so far
So weird that they said that some people would be admitted "in the next few days" and nobody has heard anything... I am dying over here!
16:16
Have a few days passed yet?
InsidiousCurvyCentipede
16:19
wondering the same thing lol
OilLawyer
17:24
I’m starting to think they filled those spots already
InsidiousCurvyCentipede
12:04
i feel like we would’ve heard/people would’ve posted it
InsidiousCurvyCentipede
12:05
and wouldn’t bu have wrapped up their waitlist?
OilLawyer
13:32
Well, there is the possibility that those who got accepted did not share, and actually there is this one person who got accepted a day after the feeler
OilLawyer
13:33
Or I’m just being pessimistic to not get my hopes up
at this point it's safe to say they're done with the WL
14:21
I paid my money and they’re giving me an answer ^_^
14:21
Tho at this rate I’m sure the answer is no
InsidiousCurvyCentipede
17:24
welp they just took 2 people off the waitlist
How do you know?
Nevermind. Just saw :( Guess my chances are over.
