I got a $20k per year scholly for Fordham PT that I just gave up. I also received some need-based aid (which I really think was more merit aid dressed up as need because no other school gave me need-based aid).

FWIW, my experience is kind of unique in that I specifically applied for PT even though I had FT numbers (they said if I wanted to do FT, they'd make the scholly $25k per year plus the need-based).

Keep in mind it's also very late in the game, and I assume they are very low on grant money.

Understood, I am thinking in terms of retake/reapply next cycle. Knowing that they gave someone money makes a big difference, though I know its no guarantee I would get it.

For many months now, I have wondered what the future would hold me. Would I be going to law school in the fall? Would it be at Fordham? Would I be retaking the LSAT and go through the agonizing application process again next year?

Well those questions have now been answered. In, PT. I can see no reason why I would not attend.

My fingers remain crossed for Rock, E2F, NyGrrrl, and the rest.

Thanks to all who have offered advice through the many ups and downs.

And I was just about to order the 10 latest prep tests....

wow! congrats!

(this may be a good sign for me.)

Congrats to my fellow PT classmates =]

Congrats to everyone who go in

Expecting my rejection any day (165/2.8x, PT, late application). Since I'm not in this round of admission, I'm guessing I'm 100% out. If only I could've had a 3.2/3.3 or so my cycle would have been so much better

Same boat. 166/2.6, PT, late app. For better or worse, I'm still holding out hope. They've been making calls throughout the week. There's always tomorrow!

Just checked my status checker. I'm out. Not shocking at all. Fordham <3's GPA too much.

It's okay. I can't afford Fordham anyway (right now I'll be paying under 70k max for law school), so it's for the best

I was never Waitlisted. This was the first I'd heard from them since the complete e-mail. Also, I applied Full Time.

Any info on Fordham's waitlist? I just checked the status checker and it says waitlist as of yesterday, although I havent received an email or anything else yet. I know not to get my hopes up for wl's but this is the third school that's done it, the only positive thing is I havent been rejected yet. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hey everyone- I got in off Northwestern's 'hold' last week and just withdrew from Fordham today. Hope this helps someone here! I'll be jealous of y'all in NYC, just couldn't turn down T14 (and cheaper COL).

Cardboardbox · Post by **Cardboardbox** » Fri May 07, 2010 12:03 pm

So quiet here today...happy Friday everyone, hope we hear some more good news today, from the looks of it maybe more PT love?

4 hours left at work....actually 3 hours and 57 minutes. So this is what Chris Rock meant when he explained the difference between a job and a career.
