Sounds good. I will PM my name, I don't normally answer to Semper anymore.

If anyone else is going to the session, here is the info:

This is to remind you about the information session that will be taking place tomorrow at Fordham Law beginning at 12:30 p.m. and followed by a tour of the law school. Upon arrival to 140 West 62nd Street, take the elevator to the third floor. The session will be held down the hall in Room 311 (room is located down the the hallway on the right). We look forward to seeing you then!

I am going too. Just arrived from Atlanta today..

I'm wearing a flowery shirt from express under a blazer. Come find me and see you later today.

Have fun, you guys!
Oh, and finding that room can be a tiny bit tricky. Take the elevator to 3, walk down the
hall and hang a right just past the atrium - it's the door on the left.
Let us know how it goes!

Also the chairs in that room are really uncomfortable; I'm not sure why they picked to have the meeting there. But in general the classrooms are pretty decent.

I was thinking about mentioning that...

The chairs were weird. But I had a really great time!! I wasn't sure about Fordham, but now I know I would be happy to go there. I just need money!!!!

I hate those chairs. Had a final in 312 (the sister room) and everyone got there ahead of time to race around, looking for one that was the right height/didn't spin too much, etc.
I wish Fordham had more money to give - I think they wish the same thing! - but so glad you had a good time and please, hit me or one of the other 1L's in the "taking questions" thread with any Q's you might have!

The person who led me around was actually from the evening division. I don't remember his name but he's very tall and was a baseball player? If this is TMI, lemme know and I'll edit this out.

can someone post the link to the 1Ls taking questions thread? and Gemini- learn anything cool at the info session?

HAHAHA! He's awesome! He's a friend of mine! Bet he was a great tour guide, actually.

It was pretty much what I already knew. There was no discussion of the new law school building, though.

I learned about how to get on a journal at Fordham lol. Also that there is a study abroad during the summer to England (yesyesyes!) and that the Fashion Law Institute is the first in the world. Section size= 40 people. And that Fordham provides housing.

Do you think I can get a room at McMann (sp?) Hall? I live in south brooklyn. That means about 1.5 hours to get to Fordham. Is it worth it to get a place?

ETA: @nygrrrl: And yea, he was awesome. Very laid back!

I have several friends in McMann - we were just discussing this, recently. Though they make it seem like a big deal, getting a place there doesn't really seem that tough... and man was I jealous, seeing residents show up for exams in 30 degree weather wearing sweats and flip flops ! (I will pass on your favorable review to said former baseball player )

thanks : )

Glad you all seemed to have enjoyed yourselves.

And yes, your tour guide is the man. He's probably lurking around here right now reading this...

Waitlisted. Don't really get why they didn't just reject me... Oh well, it was my reach. Too bad I was 4/4 until I checked Fordham's status lol.

A lot of people have said they really use their WL! Don't give up hope lol

My thought, exactly...

whyyyyyy won't they frickin notify me...it's been 3 weeks & I'm so impatient!

Do they tend to take longer if you have a below median LSAT or GPA? I have one at 25th and one way above 75th. Please tell me I'll hear back next month at the latest...?

They didn't reject you because they are still interested in you! SEVERAL of my good friends at school were WL'd - Fordham really and truly does use the list. Don't lose hope!
