We have made some updates to assist you and your students with the application process:

Admission Process Updates

The short response on the Common Application that was required is now optional. We now have three optional short responses where students can share more about themselves: a unique Fordham question, a COVID-19 impact statement, and additional information.

Early Action/Early Decision applicants will have through November 20 to change their testing status and submit their self-reported scores via forms in their applicant portals. Review our test-optional policy.

We can accept school documents from counselors for Early Action/Early Decision applicants through November 16.

November 1st is the deadline date for EA, ED and Priority Performance applications.  For more information, visit our “Apply” page.

Fordham is test optional for the Fall 2021 application cycle. For more information about our new test optional policy, please go here.

If you and your families have been impacted by the recent natural disasters, please know you are in our thoughts.  Should you need assistance with the college application process, or require flexibility regarding submission of  applications and/or documents or a fee waiver, please do not hesitate to contact your admission counselor​.  ​

The Office of Admission released its decisions on Friday, December 13th.  Should you have any questions, please contact the Office of Admission at 1-800-FORDHAM or enroll@fordham.edu.

The Early Action, Early Decision, Priority Performance Application Deadline has been extended to November 4th.

Please know that we will be flexible with deadlines for our Early Action and Early Decision programs during the Chicago Public School Teachers Strike.  Students and families with questions or concerns should contact our Chicago area representative Sydney Gabourel Ezzedine at sgabourel@fordham. edu.
