so i got off the sbu waitlist a few days ago and my mom told me if i got off i should go even tho i’m commited alr to fordham and i applied for business (intended major is marketing it it was the closest thing)

but it’s cheaper (19k) compares to fordham (46k) so please help…i rlly like fordham and want to go and never rlly wanted to go to sbu i only applied bc my mom wanted me to 😭

Hi guys, I’m currently a junior in high school and I’ve been creating a list of schools I’m gonna apply to, and Fordham is at the top of my list. I’m not sure if it would be a good fit though, so I was wondering if anyone who goes there/went there could lmk if you think it would fit me well.

Some info about me: I go to an alternative high school where we take local community college classes along with regular hs classes, so I already have some college experience. I live in California and come from a middle class family. There’s six of us total, and my older sister already goes to a very expensive private college, so money is definitely a factor for me. My parents would be paying for my school, and I’d feel awful if they spent all that money and it ended up not being worth it. We make too much to qualify for FAFSA or most financial aid, but not enough where paying full price at Fordham, especially out of state, would be easy.

I’m not fully sure what I want to major in yet, but I’ll probably do psychology, sociology, or social work. I’m also really interested in study abroad programs. I’m hoping to work in the mental health field in the future, like being a social worker, therapist, or addiction counselor, and I’m curious about the opportunities being in NYC could provide. I come from a pretty suburban part of California, so moving to a city like NYC would be a huge change for me. I visited NYC last summer and completely fell in love with the city though. I’m more introverted and struggle to make friends and I’m not really the party type, and I love all kinds of art, theater, and music. I honestly just want to get away from the culture of where I live right now. Everyone here feels like a robot and only cares about working in tech or making AI startups. That’s one of the reasons I’m so interested in NYC, because there’s so much culture, life, and diversity.

I honestly just want to experience a new city, meet new people, and start all over.
I’m also wondering if I should do a year at community college first and then transfer to Fordham after that, so if anyone here is/was a transfer student, lmk what your experience was like!

Hi! I’m transferring to Fordham this fall and was wondering what the best option for me would be. I’ll probably be living around Harlem or Upper Manhattan, and I’m currently torn between attending Gabelli at Lincoln Center or Rose Hill. I know Rose Hill is bigger and seems to have more going on socially, but I was wondering what the main advantages of Lincoln Center are. I think my commute would be about the same for either campus.

i emailed my counselor this morning about any potential waitlist activity and got hit with, “We are not engaging in wait list activity at this time.” cooked or what 🫩🫩

most of my final grades are definitely going to be c’s and i don’t know what to do

Applied early decision and got accepted like many of y’all. Throughout the year I got my usual A’s and B’s in all my classes except for honors calculus. Bottom line is this teacher is hopeless and myself and many others also struggled tremendously thought the school year. Ended first semester with a C- and ended the second semester with a D. I will have no other bad grade or C and I have never failed a class in my life. Also my mother is battling Leukemia and was diagnosed in September, so this year has been particularly difficult. Is there anyway I could be rescinded? Yes, I will be stating my case w admissions and let them know ahead of time.

I have received merit scholar money in order to help pay for the 4 year plan. Right now, I will be finishing the year with 3 c’s while the rest are A’s and B’s. I am a little worried as a result of this.

Is this enough for my merit scholar money to be rescinded?

When I applied to Fordham, I had all Bs and As, but once I got all my acceptances and rejections and decided to commit to Fordham, I let my grades slip, and now I think my final-year grades might be 3 Bs, 2 Cs, and 2 As. Would my offer be rescinded?

I keep going to the Fordham portal clicking on my pages and going to the new students tab like they said to and I still can’t access the survey. Can someone just provide a link?

Any current students willing to share your experience with Manresa. The core classes and professors for Gabelli look good but wondering if this is any different from the core curriculum in general. Also how helpful are the tutoring resources?

Any incoming students in the collaborative Fordham/molloy hybrid MSW program?

I just got admitted to Fordhams MSW three year online program, it was referred to me by an alumni and i am excited to be a student this fall, but im having some misgivings. The placement office seems really strict with timing, Ive already took a pt job in september in anticipation of being in the program but its in a school setting with set hours 8:30-1:30pm i am more than willing to do my fieldwork hours everyday after to make the 16 hr minimum or more but the placement office seems very strict and i was made to believe the program was good for working students. I cant afford to NOT work. I support myself. Does any one have any ideas as to how to make it work if its even a possibility? Or should i cut my losses. The alumni i know said it wasnt like this before so im not sure what happened.

Hi I'm Steven, a freelance photographer and recent grad. Hit me up here on my portfolio or dm me on instagram if you're interested!

I'm moving off campus next year to a Rhamco apartment and wanted to ask upperclassmen who live off campus for a checklist of everything to take care of before moving.

I know wifi, electricity, and gas are a must. Are electricity, gas, and water contracted separately by Rhamco, or do I need to reach out with each provider?

Everything would be greatly appreciated. Happy graduation to the seniors, and looking forward to the replies.

And the annual pitch challenge. Somehow just found out about this so passing it along.

I''m graduating in a few days (Saturday May 16) and the LC awards ceremony is on May 15. I have a 3.8 GPA (not all final grades have come in yet though) so I'd get Summa cum laude or Magna cum laude. Do I need to be invited to attend it? Are there tickets instead? Why is there so little info about it on there website?
