3.96/4.0 weighted (school doesn’t give unweighted and I don’t feel like recalculating). No SAT/ACT. 4s on three APs and 3 on one AP. Taking 6 APs this year. Lots of EC.

son applied on Sat 9/27 and still has not received a confirmation email with portal to set up. Is this normal for Fordham? Most email within 24 hours.
Daughter just applied. 98.5 unweighted average (HS doesn’t rank) with 7 APs, 3 dual enrollments and remainder of courses honors. All 4’s and 5’s on APs with AP Capstone diploma. Also taking 5 more APs this year. 34 ACT. Lots of ECs, including leadership, community service, FT summer job and played 2 sports for all 4 years. Hoping to go to school in NY and Fordham is near top of her list. Hoping for a decent merit scholarship.

does anyone know what time fordham usually releases ea decisions? SLA applicants who applied ea get their decisions back and were anxiously awaiting
Last year, early action was released the afternoon of Friday, 12/13, around 3:30. This year, their website says 12/20 for both EA and ED, but that is a Saturday, so I would think it might be moved up to Friday, 12/19? The year before it was a Thursday, so my guess would be either 12/18 or 12/19. It would be wonderful if it were sooner:)

Hi! Sorry in advance for the portal astrology. My D26 went into her portal today and thinks that it looks different. She is pretty sure that in the Forms Available to You section, there used to be three. There are now two (Request to Change Application Round AND Submit Self-Reported ACT and SAT scores). Has anyone else noticed this change or is it just her imagination?
I just checked my son’s. No change since last time he logged in. He still has all his forms available and has had the option to switch rounds since the beginning
Same, nothing seems different with my kids’ portal. Would be so nice to hear by the end of this week 
We think the same thing has happened in my daughter’s portal. She now just has two forms available. She wishes she had taken a screenshot at the start so we could compare.
My daughter THINKS that the missing form might have been an option to change major or school, which would make sense if decisions are pending. But she doesn’t know for sure. As of this morning, the third form is still missing.

Ok, so there were definitely two forms available. Maybe one was major, and I thought it was in a box. Now it is only one for the “change application round”. Love portal astrology:) I don’t know if that is good, bad, or just hopefully means a decision soon 
My daughter still has the same one as you, but also has
Submit Self-Reported ACT and SAT Scores
If you previously indicated that you would like Fordham to consider your application with test scores and would like to submit them now, you may self-report them using this form.
My daughter has already self-reported her SAT score in the portal (after indicating she would in her Common App).
I had my son check from his computer and your daughter is right. I was looking at his portal from my phone. The only form available now is the admission round.
Even though the portal days December 20th, last year was EA was released on 12/13 so there could be a possibility that decisions will come out this Friday 12/12. Let see.
Would you happen to know whether the merit comes out at the same time? or is that at a later date?
It looks like last year the merit/financial offers were sent around mid-January for EA.
