Anyone got off the waitlist yet?

Did you get a feeler email during the past two weeks?

Yes I did. I got an email from Ms.Espiritu on last Wednesday and replied positively on the same day. So far there is no change on my status though.

It should update soon. My status updated on Friday.

Any updates?

Another date status update to 6/15 but nothing else otherwise..

I received a mail from Fordham on 6/15 saying my application is currently under review. The status checker just shows a date change to 6/15. So far nothing else happened.

I went to accepted students day today and another student had been accepted off the wait list last week, so there is movement. I haven't been offered any aid, so not sure if I'm going or not. Hope that helps !

[stressed]

Thank you. I'm interested in the part time program only. So far I haven't heard of any movements related to that. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Any updates?

Last I spoke to admissions (end of last week) they told me there was movement the week before and they expect more soon.

[ffjjddff]

I haven't heard anything yet.

Officially accepted off the waitlist today, so there is definitely movement happening. Stay strong for those who are still waiting to hear back!

Congrats!!! Was that for the day or evening program? Was wondering how many spots they anticipate for wl? And does anyone have an idea of when to throw in the towel?

That was for the full-time day program. No idea how many people are being admitted off the wait-list, but based on my discussion with the admissions folks it's possible to be admitted up until the first day of class in August/Sept (obviously not ideal, though).

Thanks for the info and good luck!! How did they contact you via email or phone?

I received a phone call from the admissions offices congratulating me, and then an official email around 24 hours later.

[Old-school]

That's awesome. A really nice start for your summer. Congrats again!

I cannot for the life of me see why you were rejected, but T14 is a way better option. Good luck.

That's ridiculous! Their admissions process make no sense at all. Sorry that happened but good luck! You'll have better opportunities at a T14 school anyways! Plus Fordham doesn't seem to be giving out much money this year.

I'm thinking they may have rejected him/her, because they knew he was unlikely to attend. They also probably cannot compete with the $$$ they probably know this student was offered.

Any movement?

Got officially accepted off the wait list yesterday. About a month since I got that feeler email in June. Status checker date updated in the morning and got a call in the afternoon, email the following day.
