Hey guys,
My status chhanged just yesterday and it's first time change after my application complete status. 1/10 2/7.
Do I have to wait for one more statusdate change before I get the decision?
Worried that I would be waitlisted after long time watiting...

Complete dates 1/9 2/6 here. I'm guessing we'll be hearing at the same time when we do

I also went complete 1/10 but no update today. Mind sharing a ballpark of stats?

I'll PM you

I went complete 1/10 with >75 LSAT and GPA. Still haven't had a date change.

Has anyone successfully negotiated a merit scholarship from Fordham this cycle?

[fazzvm56]

I was going to try and negotiate a little more money with a full ride from a lower ranked NYC school, but I'm nervous to even email them after that one guy posted saying they'd withdraw him from their class. Did anyone follow up with that guy to see if he was just being a jerk?

That person sent them a full scholarship offer to UVA. It was obvious they would never attend Fordham.

I don't know this story, but I did email Fordham about scholarship and acceptances to two t14s, one being Cornell which they prob overlap with, and they said congrats and they would consider

Who specifically did you email?

Anyone hear anything regarding decisions today/Friday?

I'm getting a bit nervous - I submitted back in November and have been on hold since January. They said we should hear back in early Feb - it's now mid-Feb...so....I'm feeling a bit antsy.

The last time my application status changed was 1/31.

How do you know if you get put on hold, do you get like an official statement from Fordham? I went complete 12/21 and then the status changed 1/9, but I'm wondering if they held my app because my 6-8 weeks from the time I first went complete is almost up

I was told I was put on hold via email.

This is the main text of the email I received:

Thank you for your application to Fordham Law School. The Admissions Committee has done an initial review of your file and, at this time, has decided to hold off on making a more definitive decision until a later date. We know the wait for law school decisions can be quite difficult, but there are only a certain number of applications we would like to revisit in the early part of winter and yours is one of them. Due to the rolling admissions nature of our process, we will conduct another full review of your application a little later in the cycle as our pool becomes more defined. Rest assured that certain aspects of your application have been highlighted by the Admissions Committee and we anticipate the second round of review occurring during the first week of February. At that time, a formal decision (Admitted, Waitlisted, Denied) will be rendered.

For some people it's 2 others it's 3. I was put on hold, so perhaps my situation was a bit different?
