Fordham c/o 2015/16 (2011-2012 Cycle) Forum

[dingbat]

Anybody who went care to share their opinion (here or in the class of 2015 thread)?

On that note, please let me know if it's worth it to attend the next ASD.
I'm very familiar with Fordham and with the general area, so I'm not sure if I'll get anything out of it.

In all honesty, free food and a t-shirt is likely about it. Though if it's not inconvenient for you to go, it's a great place to meet some of your poential future classmates. People seemed to be enjoying themselves from what I saw, while grabbing food and drinks. One of the hosts was dubious and said "This is for admitted students. Are you guys...admitted students?" The answer to that question is yes, poor word choice on her part.

Any aspiring lawyer want to try putting in the missing punctuation?

You will actually touch on this in legislation and regulation when going over scrivener's errors, so The Oxford comma is actually relevant.

I enjoyed it. I think if you're serious about attending you should definitely go to the next one. The interactions with current students and professors could really swing your decision towards Fordham. Fordham has, hands down, one of the best student bodies of all the law schools I've been to. A bunch of people left before the food and drinks reception at the end but I would definitely recommend sticking around for that. My only complaint would be that they ran out of beer too quickly.

[lakers3peat]

so I emailed them about a scholarship and they never responded back to me lol.

does this mean I am SOL or was it just missed?

i was expecting at least a "No, we can't help you out" the cold silence is rather rude...

just got in 150 pm today, 3.62/165

The LSAT in your profile is 6 pts higher than 165. If that's what you actually got you'll prob get a good chunk of change.

unfortunately, it's not. i choke under pressure big time. plus I have a learning disability but couldn't get LSAC to approve accommodations so I just sacked up and took it. was semi disappointed with the 165 since I was PT higher but what can ya do eh

edit: that was my highest PT, I will fix this once I figure out how to work the profile stuff again.

I think our office server is recovering from the #SuperBowl as well...decisions processing a little slow today but are going out shortly. (from Kathryn)

I've applied for PT and have not heard back yet. ;(

[junior_y_u]

No movement at all as far as I know... WL'ed since 12/1 here.

[avd90]

apparently the decisions went out an hour ago. no word on TLS or LSN.

[NJDevilsfan]

If a decision is made, are we made aware through email or only through status checker?

Thanks for the help?

I found out through status checker but the email followed 5 minutes later.

Gotcha... I have to say, this has kind of made me like Fordham less. Going into the cycle, Fordham was my dream school. Over the past few months I have been admitted to a lot of great schools, including GULC and W&M with 2/3 scholly, but Fordham's still sitting on my app. I have a pretty good reason to want to be in/near NYC, and might choose Fordham over some higher-ranked schools, but alas, I wait...
