fordham wave
updates with date changes until decision. If it helps, I went complete (submitting the application), 1st date change a month after, 2nd date change a month after that, and then a decision 3 business days later
never said 'under review'

i low key feel like fordham is trying to wait out nyu rn
18:42
cuz they know a lot of nyu/columbia rejects are way more likely to go to fordham

On their website they said "Applicants can expect decisions within 8-10 business weeks of completing their application. If applicants haven't received a decision by the eight-week mark, they're welcome to follow up with the Office of Admissions." but I think this is a setup
MadeOfChocolate
11:15
wait but most people who went complete before Jan have a decision so maybe its coming soon????
