@ugug, congrats!! And thanks for sharing. Forham’s web site says most scholarships are sent with admissions decisions, but states that the Presidential notification date is 4/1. Useful to know those decisions have gone out…
Congrats to those accepted!
Congratulations @ugug . Will you commit? That’s tough to turn down!
@ugug The Fordham website says that Cunniffe Scholars are notified on April 1st. Did they mention you were finding out early?
hi everyone!! i’m a bit late but i wanted to share
I got accepted into Gabelli at Rose Hill, but i asked to be transferred to Lincoln Center and they approved!!
I got a scholarship of $12,500 per year.
I’m an international student (Caribbean) so i submitted my CSEC and CAPE results in which i had all 1s with A profiles.
I had quite a few extracurriculars, most of which were business-related. My personal statement was about how much Harry Styles inspires me ??
Can’t wait to meet everyone!!
No they did not mention that. They said I was one of only 23 applicants who received it.
