I posted this before but I think the question is more appropriate now- how many of the 476 students are FT? Overall that seems like a large #, trying to gauge what the size of each individual division is??

EDIT: does anyone know whether the stats on their website (http://law.fordham.edu/career-planning/1410.htm) are FT and PT combined? If not, where can I find the stats for each?

I have a 161 twice--what do you think it will take to convince them to take me PT? sub 3 gpa. 165+?
goosey, if info on your TLS profile is correct and you are a URM, a score below 165 might do it, but I think in any event with 165, or better maybe a 166 you should have a good shot at PT.

Sanbun, I responded to this earlier. Per TLS profile: "Entering class size 2008: full-time: 316, part-time: 160." I'm assuming it's about the same.

I just realized that I transmitted my Fordham app on 12/10 and I haven't received anything from them confirming that they have received it...should I be worried about this?

I dont think so, there seems to have been a mad rush to get the EA decisions out, and from I noticed on my own lsac account is that when they request the report, it can take up to 8 days for them to receive--the fact that this was right before the holidays is probably what slowed it down. If I were you I would check my lsac account to see if they requested a report yet or not. if not, then I'd probably worry a little..


Do they have break until after new years? or is there a possibility of decisions being sent out this week?

Actually, I know OS has discussed this at some length. Try running a search, maybe? If I can remember where I saw this thread, I'll post back! (As I recall, the LRAP is so-so but the grads place well.... don't quote me!)

I just got my status checker today too.

I applied (3.6x, 164) for the full time program but in light of my lsat and some new work opportunities I think I want to switch my application to the evening division. Is it possible to call and make this change? I believe the admissions office is closed until the 4th, but I plan to call back then. Anyone have any experience doing this?

Email the school and ask to switch. You should be golden for PT with those numbers. I got in with less.

So I should be able to switch? Think switching would hurt my chances in any way? Are there scholarships available for pt with my numbers?

complete 11/2 EA and still no decision. to be fair, I retook the LSAT in Dec, and am actually somewhat happy they didn't render a decision; i had a big jump

what do you guys think my chances would be with a 3.6x and 164 for the full time division? top 20 ug, 1 year WE, and non-URM?

i'm thinking of submitting today.

thanks!

MissLucky go ahead, it shouldn't hurt to try your LSAT is the 25th and your GPA is around the median.

Btw, anyone know what email I use when I shoot one to Fordham to tell them that I'm going to be updating my transcript on LSAC with the Fall semester grades?

I updated my transcript and I sent the email to their general admissions email address. I got a response back so I'm sure it is the right one.


Additionally, anyone know when Fordham officially reopens? ie. when we can expect some mroe decisions?

happy new year, all.
