Congrats!!  I got accepted into their online program. I’m still waiting to hear back from other schools, but Fordham seems like a good school.

Hi! @Alinic

 

Would you mind telling me how long between your application and when you were accepted?  I applied for the online January 2021 start and the wait is killing me.

Hey @Paisley123, that is exactly why Im here too! I applied for the online 2021 and this week starts my 6th week of waiting and Im going nuts! When did you complete your application? (Also, fingers crossed!)

HI @Coop2508

I finished my application in mid July.  I think it was July 17 or 23. This was after much prodding from the application  person I was assigned to.  When I first reached out she tried to set a deadline for me to get all my documents in a week from our conversation.  When I made it clear that I was applying for January she said applications had already been coming in and it would be good get them in by then.  In follow up conversations with her she let slip that they are getting the Sept start students ready and that they aren't reviewing applications until after the semester starts.  At that point it was already Sept 1 and I had had enough.  I panicked and called Monmouth to see if they were accepting applications for Fall (they don't do January starts) and they said yes!  I sent in application because they have a strong macro program.  They took me right away and I'm in classes full time now.  Its Sept 19 and still no word from Fordham....  I thought they'd have given some guidance by now especially given how the applicant guide pushed.

I have a strong application and had my "guide"  at Fordham been straight with me I might be in their Sept start program right now.  Maybe it was the best.  Monmouth is a small school and I already know the faculty in my concentration.  The dean reviewed my application! With Covid its all online anyway and they have permanently moved the macro portion of the program to an online format to get more global participation. I think it was a blessing in disguise for me.

I hope you hear what you want to hear soon!

Hi! I hope you’ve heard by now. Sorry I’m just seeing this message. I think it took around 2 mos before I heard back and it was Pre-COVID. ?

finally heard from Fordham this morning.  I was accepted for January.  So July 17 completed application  to Oct 5 acceptance.  Needless to say its a big school.  It was a blessing - I'm at a smaller program where I have visibility with the Dean and the faculty.  I have a great internship and all is going well.
