Re: Fordham University School of Law C/O 2018 Applicants
I just want to second the disorganization/rudeness of Fordham's admissions department/process. I am shocked that they cannot put together a better program designed to attract the kind of students that Fordham needs to be attracting. I also presented them with much better offers from schools like Vandy etc and they completely shut me down. Beyond that, while every other school makes an effort to reach out to accepted students with an organized email/events program they have done almost none of that beyond a pretty sad admitted students day I attended where the alumni panel consisted of people who all discussed how they got their jobs through personal connections, not Fordham, and one woman could not stop giggling about how she still did not feel qualified to do her job.Hispaniclaw wrote:Just left a campus tour. Wow, the inside of the building is so ugly. The cafeteria looks like the one from my middle school/the one from OITNB and the library is hideous. I also got a really weird vibe from the people so I'm definitely disappointed.
The assistant dean refused to reconsider my scholarship after I presented a much better offer from GW. His arrogant tone just added to the awkwardness of the email.
Withdrawing today.

Re: Fordham University School of Law C/O 2018 Applicants
I completely agree that the alumni panel was really poorly done and, had it been all I'd seen of the school, I would have left convinced I should not attend. That said, they spoke about how they got their jobs through Fordham connections, not personal connections. Relevant difference.spring9988 wrote:I just want to second the disorganization/rudeness of Fordham's admissions department/process.

Re: Fordham University School of Law C/O 2018 Applicants
You were completely shut down on a renegotiation when you had a better offer from VANDY? And Spring9988, shot down with a renegotiation using GW? My scholly offer from Fordham was 1/3 what i got from some t20 schools so I kind of wrote them off anyway, and I think the fact I have not in ONE place seen any mention of the TIME the deposit deadline is due..midnight? noon? (it does vary for schools) is indicative, of, well, things.

Okay this is getting ridiculous. Is anyone else still waiting to hear back?
I have two weeks before I have to withdraw from all schools, and I haven't heard back from Fordham. Submitted mid-November, complete in March. #s are solid for Fordham. What is going on?

Yep, probably too smart. I know I am too handsome, I am sure that is impacting their decision. But a decision and a travel coffee mug should have arrived in the mail weeks ago. Even with the Feb LSAT pushing the application to the pile of untouched until 03/03/2015 -- there should have been a smaller pile by then to make the decisions easier and quicker.

Re: Fordham University School of Law C/O 2018 Applicants
I was accepted via email today finally. Don't give up hope for those of you still waiting.
Does anyone know their notification procedure for scholarships? No mention of it in the email, hope this doesn't mean they are offering no merit aid.

Can any admitted students access the Facebook page for Class of 2018/2019? The link in the email from Admissions for that Facebook group seems to be broken for me...

I just got an email that they are working on our applications, and decisions will come out within 3 weeks. I kinda hope mine comes out after 5/1, when I would have withdrawn from almost all schools to which I've applied.mka5000066 wrote:ughhh still waiting, I don't even care at this point I just want a response

Got the same email as well. It's at least nice to have our waiting acknowledged by the school, especially considering how delayed our decisions are.LawsRUs wrote:I just got an email that they are working on our applications, and decisions will come out within 3 weeks.

I think maybe your problem was timing. I successfully negotiated up using a GW offer, with Fordham offering significantly more not only than their first offer but also than GW. I did this in early March, though. Schools like Fordham don't have as many resources to commit, so timing is even more important than at higher-ranked schools.

I wanted to go, but even with a 60k scholarship, I couldn't justify the debt. I guess it depends how much you're willing to gamble to live in NYC?

Re: Fordham University School of Law C/O 2018 Applicants
I took the Feb LSAT, received my acceptance on 4/16, but also no mention of scholarship. I'm applying as a part time student, and this is the best ranked school in the area with an evening program. that doesn't leave me much room to negotiate when the other evening programs in NYC are ranked much lower. Anyone else in the same boat?
