ertanner Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Another person I know heard back Friday with a rejection. I still have heard nothing - this makes me nervous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop99 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just got accepted today via snail mail, and was placed on the waitlist for financial aid. Probably won't be attending - was aiming for the PC Fellowship. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertanner Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Bah...they waitlisted me. This sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40404 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Does anyone here have any idea how marketable the IPED program is in terms of career prospects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impatiens Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Question for everyone who has heard from Fordham via snailmail: whereabouts geographically are you? I also applied to IPED but I haven't received anything yet. I'm in Toronto so maybe mail takes a little longer to Canada... *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop99 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm in California. Heard on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Toronto so maybe mail takes a little longer to Canada... *crosses fingers* I heard via email first on Mar 12 then the letter came via UPS last Mar 17. I am in Manila, Philippines.

impatiens Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Interesting. Distance and borders are likely not reasons for me not having heard anything yet, since both California and the Philippines are quite a ways further away from the Bronx than Toronto is! I wonder if they just arbitrarily split the applicant list alphabetically. My last name starts with "W," so if that's the case then I am likely not going to be in the first wave as you all seem to be. I'll wait until Friday (going back to my apt on my lunch to check my mail... a little obsessive, I know!) and if I still don't get anything yet, I'll give them a call Friday afternoon. Anybody actually considering accepting Fordham IPED? I'm not sure what to think of anything anymore... but I'm pretty fickle! :roll: I applied to the International Banking stream but somehow I don't think that's the best thing to study these days, in terms of job prospects upon graduation.

knelson Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm still undecided (waiting to hear on all financials, etc), but am currently seriously considering IPED. For those who were wondering, I got an email acceptance on March 11th. However, I am still trying to find out more about the school. I'd like to hear from anyone who knows anything specific about the IPED program. Anyone currently in it or know anyone who is? How good is the program?

40404 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 My cousin's husband is a grad of the IPED program, he's currently a financial analyst. I'll try to email him to ask about the program specifics but when he knew before that I was thinking of applying he encouraged me to do so.

impatiens Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I finally caved and called them today and they e-mailed me my letter that seems to have gotten lost in the mail. Onto the waitlist I go! The more and more I think about it, I actually am starting to lean towards wanting to go to Fordham. My really good friend is transferring to Columbia, and their med school is like RIGHT beside the Bronx. Or maybe this is just a "wanting what I can't have" thing... heh. :roll: Thoughts? Why or why don't you want to go to Fordham? I'm starting to like the idea of staying on the East Coast and focusing more on finance (I applied to the Int'l Banking stream).

ertanner Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Anyone who has been accepted to Fordham, and does not plan to go, kindly inform them your offer! I want off this damn waitlist! Ah, kidding. But I haaaaate waitlists. Its worse agony than not knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impatiens Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Ertanner: I'm with you on that one! However if you've gotten into Georgetown, that should hardly be leaving you wanting a whole lot more! What makes you find Fordham a good choice (besides just not wanting to be in limbo)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop99 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I won't be going - I'll let them know ASAP. Do you think it'll make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impatiens Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thank youuu from the IPED waitlisters! They haven't told me anything about my position in the waitlist. I would expect it to be sort of long (not that I know anything about waitlists) because from what I understand, IPED is absolutely tiny, like a class of 30 or so.

However if you've gotten into Georgetown, that should hardly be leaving you wanting a whole lot more! What makes you find Fordham a good choice (besides just not wanting to be in limbo)? I was accepted to Georgetowns Public Policy School - I applied there because I liked their development policy program, But I prefer Fordhams IPED program, I really just think I would enjoy more. Georgetown is a big name, but I mean, I liked Fordham's program better. Plus GPPI didn't offer me much in the way of funding, and its tuition is insane.

knelson Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 ertanner- I'm curious what makes you like Fordham's program more than the other? I'm strongly considering their program, but I'm not able to visit and haven't been able to find much information or opinions about it online. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
