Complete today but my app was sent 01/06, I don't know about multiple updates.

I just sent Kathryn my "Why Fordham" statement. I was going to bring it with me next week, when I am visiting the school, to drop it off in person. But, I figured, if they've got my app in their hands right now, then this is the time to get it over to them. Fingers crossed!

Do you guys know what kind of scholarships ($ wise) fordham offers? I did a quick search but couldn't find anything

Edit: just found the site, its 5-25 thousand a year, and they offer full scholarships to several students based on numbers and leadership experience

Another 1/6 complete who just updated to 2/9. Similar numbers to fellow 2-9ers (165, 3.3x).

So, there's about 8 of us 1/6-2/9ers... I've decided I'm taking this as a good omen. :D

We're going to be the last of the week's "trickle," as Kathryn tweeted today.

1/6 to 2/9 complete here. 163/3.77, unique softs, 9 years WE. What's the pattern with the second updates for previous applicants? Is it a universal step in the process, or just for accepted/denied?

Looks like we're all around mid 160's and median GPAs...

Don't know how to read this. I'm fully anticipating a WL or Reject. We'll see.

And are we a mix of PT and FT applicants?

Make that 9! I'm 1/5-2/7 but I vote I'm included too. Same #s range for me (mid 160s/median GPA), what I think are good softs. Hoping to hear something soon...good luck gang!

Does anyone know what Fordham's deferral policy is? I can't seem to find it, though I did read somewhere that they don't allow it except in more extreme cases.

Dude if you're PT you're well above both medians. You're in. You're also at/above both medians for FT.

The question is whether you go to Dozo at 10k (though I think you can even negotiate a bigger deal with them, since you're above both medians) or Fordham PT at sticker (~36?) and work.

If you're not totally set on being a lawyer, as I've read in a previous thread, I would say go for as little debt as possible. That's just me.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Any early Jan complete who have NOT updated this week? I think it could just be a standard thing for all applicants.

I'd say you're included, too! Good luck!
