I think it's not a bad choice to apply for Fordham now if you are on the waitlist and don't have one secured school. I applied to Fordham after i received my waitlist notification from BU, and i was admitted in less than a week after i applied! even though the priority deadline had passed for weeks. I'm looking to pursue careers in addiction service and mental health counselling, and Fordham's program looks all right. Fordham's graduate school of social service was ranked 25 in US news this year, was 11 in 2018. i also received $6000 scholarship, 1500 per semester. It's not a lot but i wasn't expecting this at all.
