According to their timeline, they'll either give me something on Monday or not at all.

I got in last week and haven't heard anything scholarship-wise. kind of surprised since i thought i had pretty good #s for a fordham scholarship.

Did you get your acceptance folder? Mine had a letter that I would find out scholly info within two weeks of receiving that letter (printed 11/28). I'd be honestly surprised if you didn't get anything, Snehpets.

Nah, I think the folder was mailed on the 5th, so hopefully soon. I'd be surprised if you didn't get anything as well though, and it's been almost two weeks. Maybe they're low on scholarship money? Seems odd though, you have good numbers. Maybe they wait till right before the deadline and/or are behind.

I'm well above both 75ths and I haven't heard anything regarding merit awards yet either (Admit 12/2)... I'm guessing that we'll hear within a week or so, since the letter in the acceptance packet says to give them two weeks.

Fordham is being super weird this cycle. Waitlisting people that should be admitted and not giving people monies.

If I am still complete and am getting worried I might not hear what I want, is it worth it to submit a Why X essay now? Or is it too late? I'm complete 11/8 and nothing since.

Anyone else into watching this new building go up? http://law.fordham.edu/alumni/11605.htm

It makes me like that Fordham that much more that the new building, which is supposed to be finished for our 3L year, looks amazing. Anyone else think it will give Fordham a little rankings boost? Its facilities can't have been doing much for it over the past decade...

Did you guys know Kathryn Espiritu (Fordham Admissions Director) tweets when Status Checkers are going to update?

@KathrynForLaw

Also, congratulations to all the recent admits.

My undergrad school had a non- traditional grading system and we got evals instead of letter grades. I was worried it wouldnt look good to law schools but so far seems ok. This is my second acceptance. I believe I applied to Fordham 10/28

Gotcha. Congrats!!

Scholarship email just came (2-3 hours after acceptance). $30k/year, no stipulations, etc etc.

Shit. I think I am high enough numbers-wise to get a scholarship but not so high that they think I will get substantial T14 money.

eta: Confirmed on LSN, at least by looking at the people who have already been admitted. The $90k total only went to people with 169-170 & 3.8+. No one with a higher LSAT seems to have gotten anything.

unitedfrutopia · Post by **unitedfrutopia** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:54 pm

Email scholarship came the same day as the admit packet. 15k/yr no stips.

confusedlaw · Post by **confusedlaw** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:10 pm

15 k a yer guaranteed

hdsoc · Post by **hdsoc** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:10 pm

I got 10K a year guaranteed. The email just came as I was writing my withdrawal email which is kind of awkward. Oh well. That's 10K more for somebody else here.

snehpets · Post by **snehpets** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:13 pm

email came right after admit packet. $30,000 a year with no stipulations. However, I'll prob withdraw so more money for all of you!
