Getting Ready for Fordham's Regular Decision Release

Does anyone know when Fordham releases their regular decision results? I'm getting anxious as I wait and plan my next steps. Also, how do you guys pass the time and manage the waiting game?

Fordham University typically releases its regular decision results in early April. However, this date can vary slightly from year to year, so it's best to regularly check your applicant portal or the admissions office's website for updates.

For many, the waiting game can be anxiety-inducing, but there are several tactics you can employ to help pass the time productively.

First, recognize that while waiting is hard, it’s a normal part of the process that everyone goes through. It’s okay to be anxious, but remember that you’ve done the best you could, and it’s out of your hands at this point.

Second, focus on your current responsibilities. This might include staying on top of your current schoolwork or dedicating time to your hobbies and interests. This not only distracts you but also ensures that you're continuing to develop your skills.

Another good idea is to start planning for different outcomes. A part of the anxiety comes from the uncertainty of the decision. By planning for both acceptance and rejection, you can alleviate some of this stress by knowing you have a plan in place regardless of the outcome.

Don't forget to make time for relaxation too. Engage in activities you enjoy like reading, watching movies, or hanging out with friends. Physical activity is also a great stress reliever, so consider regular exercise or any sport you enjoy.

The main idea is to keep your mind occupied with other things that you enjoy or need to do. The decision will come soon enough and fretting over it won't change the outcome. You've worked hard on your application, and you should be proud of your effort no matter what the outcome. Good luck!
