HEOP Still No Decision

I originally applied as HEOP, and was admitted about a week ago. I didn’t have a strong GPA (2.7), but good SAT scores, extra-curricular activities, community service, recommendations, and connections.
I was in a college prep program where one of my counselors was a former Fordham HEOP student and encouraged me to apply to the school.

I think that besides a good personal essay and a strong interview (I got particularly lucky because mine was the director’s last interview of the day), I think it was mainly just showing interest.

So I definitely recommend you do a tour of the school, because you might even get to talk to one of the admissions counselors in person (like I did), but try to seem humble and chill when you do.

My counselor at my college prep program did tell me that Fordham is particularly selective with their HEOP program and that their decisions can come pretty late, but I’m sure you’ll get it before May 1.

Good Luck and hope to hear back @Dvo121
