Can I get into the part time program with a 158/3.95? According to law school predictor I should "strongly consider", but that doesn't make sense to me because the median lsat is a few points above!?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

Not to be discouraging, but... the PT program is now 80 students. If you've been out of school for a while, have a job and plan to continue working, those things could help you... otherwise? I have to admit that I think that LSAT is going to hurt you, no matter your GPA. Hope I'm wrong, though - seriously, best of luck.

Submitted 11/28
App Complete 11/30 --> 12/22 --> 1/4
Admitted 1/18

Congrats I checked my status checker like I'm sure 98% of the board just did. Still on second complete 1/4--->1/11 does everyone have to go through three complete dates?

this is my 3rd complete date and i'm still sitting at complete...

When was your 3rd date, Gotti? Maybe you get the decision like 2-3 weeks after date 3. Though to be honest, I went:

Complete --> UR --> Complete --> Admitted

So there may be no "method" here or anything...

Hi guys, and congrats to the new admits! Eugenie, to answer you, our LRAP does last five years. The idea is that you make five more years of IBR payments, which will be about 10% of your income, so fairly manageable, then your whole debt is forgiven. Right now the program only covers nonprofits, but I know they are hoping to expand it to cover government work as well.

I feel bad for not checking this thread more often, but if you have specific questions, please PM me.

that's great. no method? I think they just intentionally try to drive every applicant crazy.

I went something like complete ~12/1 --> ~12/21 --> 1/13

I hope I hear next weeeeek! This week would be great, but...not holding my breath

Anyone get scholly info?

[LocalNative]

Might (or might not) want to take a look at your status checkers.

WL (PT) via checker - Complete 12/6

161, 3.9 - can't say this wasn't expected, but it doesn't feel great

Fordham likes GPAs a lot. This actually has a better chance than many, even now, provided you keep them apprised of your interest. I was WL/IN after a good sized wait the cycle before last.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll probably see what happens with some other schools and then send out the LOCI.

Just got dinged via status checker. Good luck to those of you who are still waiting and congrats to those just accepted!

Does anybody know anything about negotiating scholly with Fordham? Is 75k basically the max?

Did your scholarship info come with your admissions packet? Also, how long after you got accepted did you get your packet?

[law4vus]

Just got WL via status check. Meh. Kinda expected, though.

Still havent got the packet (accepted over a week ago), but I am having a mail-forwarding problem with the USPS.

I want to check my status checker, but their website won't load.

[bistduverrueckt]

Is anybody in this thread in my situation or vaguely like it:
submitted 11/10, complete 11/11, went UR briefly 12/2 then back to complete 12/2 then have heard nothing at all since

[subtle]

Is the Fordham site down for anyone else right now?

[ilovesf]

WOW, I am still complete! Anyone else a mid-October applicant with no news yet?

[livefreeordie]

Status Checker not loading again! Does this mean updates?
