As far as I can tell they have been trying to do 2 batches a week but you never know. I think March is going to be a busy month for them. Got to get all the acceptances out so they can hit that April 15th deposit date. They make it pretty clear that notices will still be going out after that date but it seems to me that they would want to get as many as possible in before the initial (coincidentally, non-refundable) due date. Hopefully all of ours come sooner than that!

Just got my merit aid. Anyone tried negotiating with Fordham yet?

[jake872]

Accepted last week, got a scholarship award of 30k annually by email today at around 5:30 PM. 166 with superior international GPA, pretty average softs.

So has then been any correlation between amount of times status changed/day of results/contact method (ie phone call vs email) and decision results? Also being that we are in March, for those of us still waiting for results is it more likely to be dinged or wl since it's getting so late? I would assume a great deal of admits would've went out by now and since some people who applied on/after I did, I feel like maybe my app was in the "aidios" pile and other people with better numbers got priority with review?(purely speculation) I read a lot about index numbers and such and feel like when they first see what kind of numbers you have that perhaps that affects the order in which they look at apps, with the higher numbers coming across the table first.

If you put in the month that you applied at http://mylsn.info/r/pre-law/timeline/chart/ you can see when other people from that month heard back. The majority of January applicants in the recent past have heard back in March, so I don't think we have anything to be worried about. For what its worth, I have confidence that I will be accepted at Fordham given my results at other schools and stats (>75) but have yet to receive anything other than a completion date. That isn't me trying to brag (in fact Fordham would probably be my top choice barring a w/l offer from another NYC school) but to say that there are still a lot of applications--yours included!--that are going to be admits. Don't worry yet!

Remember that Fordham doesn't require first deposits for accepted students until April 15th. That's still a month and a half of time for FLS to send out admits. They definitely take a long time to get back to us but there is no reason to believe that it correlates to our outcomes.

From official twitter "No more decisions 'til next week as our team preps for our second Admitted Student Day this Sunday!"

Boo!!!!
