I’m a senior in high school and am applying to Fordham early action! Really hoping I get in 🤩🤞🏼 UPDATE: I got deferred to regular decision and decided to not have my application considered any more. It’s way too expensive y’all.

Good luck!

They have a KZbin channel and have turned off comments on every one of their videos LMAO. What exactly are those snowflake professors afraid of? Logical debate? If your convictions are so founded on the truth to believe in, why shut down opposing opinions? Jus sayn. This university will not allow you to have much freedom of speech, especially regarding the ability to defend yourself.

[@sarahchowdhury3577]

Hey! Thanks for this video. One question: Fordham chooses the schedule for the Gabelli kids?

[@BellaKing]

Yes at LC Fordham chooses your schedule for the first semester of your freshman year

[@AyeeeItsCam]

When I was going through the college application process, I just couldn't understand why people were willingly applying to the LC campus when Rose Hill had literally everything you'd want in a traditional college experience, especially for a small-ish private school. LC just felt office-like to me vs a college. Different strokes for different folks is real I guess lol. Glad you're having a great experience there 🙂

[@echag57]

I just got in today and I’m seriously considering it! But between the small lc student population and the class schedule I’m not really sure abt the high school vibes 😬 I think it would be fine but I’m not sure it’s how I’d thrive

[@BellaKing]

congrats!! it is really different from a normal college experience so you just have to weigh the pros and cons

[@punnawitrinnasak2576]

[@guddikumari4762]

@@BellaKing ok

[@mariasaravia2378]

Do you get to choose what time you want your classes that will fit into the Schools schedules, for example will I always have an 8:30 am class? Also this helped me so much, look forward to apply to the school,especially LC!!

[@BellaKing]

Depends on If you are in gabelli or Lincoln center if you are in gabelli for your freshman year you do not get to choose if you are in regular Lincoln center then you do get to choose. And no you might not have a 8:30 and you most likely won’t have one everyday no matter which school you’re in

[@Dosik98]

Your voice is stunning:)

[@ky_c_c]

Hi, great video but I was wondering if you’re an athlete can you still live at Lincoln Center? and where are practices held? If you know it would be extremely helpful to me seeing as Fordham is a Division 1 school and you can get sports scholarships.

[@BellaKing]

Yes you can live at LC if you are a student athlete but all practices and whatnot are at rose hill

[@BellaKing]

You can still live at LC if you are an athlete. I think you just sign up for your sport and whatnot and make sure you get there on time

[@oliviadakota]

I’m wondering if when you apply to Fordham (LC campus), is it harder to be accepted since the LC campus is much smaller? Like do I have less of a chance of getting into Fordham is I apply to LC? Thanks:))

[@BellaKing]

The LC campus does have a slightly lower acceptance rate and gabelli has a lower acceptance rate in comparison to the college

[@oliviadakota]

Bella King Thanks! Do you have any tips to get into specifically the LC campus?

[@bubblesqueak835]

i just barely started realizing that i really want to go to fordham, but my gpa is so low. i had some things going on at home, so I didn't have the ability to prioritize school. as a junior, last quarter of the school year, I feel like I've ruined my chances of going to fordham 😭does anyone have any tips that could help me increase my chances of getting accepted next year? my gpa is low but my sat score is a 1550 and I'm planning on taking the act and getting a really high score. I'm also thinking of starting a non profit, or a business.

[@keziahdenny5877]

i just got accepted to LC which is so exciting but it’s insanely expensive 💔

[@aizaali8343]

same!!!!!

[@harleykessler9721]

which campus do athletes live on?

[@nicholaswesley3658]

How would you rate the diversity at Fordham LC compared to rose hill?

[@BellaKing]

Depends on the type of diversity. If you are talking about racial then I would say that the majority of LC is white and Asian but we have a slightly larger minority popular and pretty much same with RH but more white at rose hill. Religiousand sexual orientation wise I would again say LC is more diverse based on vibe and general population

[@jasmineecheona6849]

If you try Lincoln center your first year and you don’t like it, can you change campuses?

[@BellaKing]

Yeah! You can transfer to another campus if you want

Lincoln Center is definitely safer but I preferred Rosehill personally. But if you want a city feel go to Lincoln Center.

[@BellaKing]

I’m not the most knowledgeable about transfers. But about making friends, there is a transfer orientation so that you can meet people and start to get involved at the school and the people there. You’re definitely going to have to try a bit harder to make friends since it won’t just be at a normal orientation freshman year but everyone is still always trying to make friends so you need to just put yourself out there!

I don’t really think classes matter too much because I went in with finance and then changed it. Just get good grades on whatever classes you take. Also I’m not minoring because I’m trynna finish school early but it’s pretty easy to minor you just do a few classes at the end pretty much

[@attsealevel]

Left out the part about Chinese growing influence at Fordham (just how pervasive it's become). China's been using so-called "partnership" collaborations to dictate policy on an increasing number of colleges around the world. Began with Australian colleges, but it's now become a real problem here in the US. You need only read about Fordham's recent response to student body discord to gain some insight. Fordham was one of the first US colleges to sell-out to foreign interests, but it was only a spring-board. China's since gone on to pursue lots of our other institutions.
