so does a date change mean you are UR? I had one today (went complete 1/13)
Hi all, how long does it take to hear back from the school on a scholarship decision?
@AverageWrongForest: i think it varies per person. i asked admissions and they said if i received one ill know within a week fo acceptance
@pleasepleasegivememoney: Thank you for the response! Congrats on getting into the evening program. I also got accepted today and waiting to hear back on the scholarship info.
@AverageWrongForest: congrats to you too! Hoping we get shcolarship info soon!

Does Fordham have a lot of waitlist movement? Asking as I got ‘priority waitlist’

@Lilabeans12: what did your "priority waitlist" email say?
nothing special @typicalmeanorangutan
"therefore it is necessary to create a priority WL for a select group of individuals w the hope that we may be able to make a number of offers in early spring"
if youre interested they asked us to fill out a google form
im kinda stunned tbh ol

Has Fordham released bulk of decisions?

Or is there a ways to go

@Kvttykat66: Their class size last year was in the mid 450’s and their acceptances are in the 200’s — alongside the fact that probably about half accepted aren’t gonna go there they definitely have let in less than half of their class so far
TennisLover
15:20
This is obviously just based on this website but based on that I don’t think they let in a majority of their incoming class yet
waitlisted :( frustrating when my stats are on par but alas
20:37
@TennisLover: i dont think that's a correct way of looking at the numbers, despite it providing an optimistic outlook which I wish for as well
20:38
their TOTAL class size was 450, meaning in real life. The acceptances you see here, being 250 or so, are just the acceptances reported on LSD, not what is going on in real life.
20:39
If you look at previous years of LSD data, like 2022, 2021, etc., you see that the total acceptances reported to LSD have been between 200-260 or so, out of 1000-1400 reported applications on LSD (much more in real life obviosuly)
20:40
that being the case, it does look like things are tightening up, and i think thats the case at a lot of schools, but surely there will be movement over the next few weeks because I think there are still a lot of open applications and peoplle who have yet to deposit
20:40
@Kvttykat66: best of luck!
12:05
any movement from fordham today?
