Fordham University reported a wait list acceptance rate of 17.3% for the application year 2023, with 1,777 out of 10,260 wait-listed applicants gaining admission. This contrasts sharply with the previous year (2022), where only 2.1% of wait-listed students were accepted, marking a significant increase from 229 admissions. The data for other recent years is not available, but the sharp rise in the acceptance rate indicates a more favorable outcome for wait-listed candidates compared to the past.
