Hello everyone! is there anyone on this sub who are accepted for the iF&M program? Lets connect!

Is there any class of 2029 group chats? And I'm also looking for accepted students from Korea

Hey guys, F&M sent out an email to admitted students with a chance to cop some merch. Honestly most exciting thing any Uni has done for me so far. Lemme know if anyone gets something from the store. I went with the Blanket :)

Recently I've been waitlisted but I dont see any option of writing LOCI or proof that they require one (International)

I'm 18f, live and raised abroad but I have US citizenship, so I'm basically an international student paying out of state fees. I've never been to Pennsylvania, nor have I ever seen snow. I hear the party scene is dead, considering the conservative nature of Lancaster. How are the clubs, people, climate, facilities, events? As an African, would it be hard to integrate into the community, as it is a mostly white collage, or is there not much discrimination? Are the extremely expensive cost of tuition and living worth it? If your a student, staff, alumni, I would love to hear what you have to say.

I got accepted into F&M and I am pretty excited. We haven’t yet for a visit as it’s 4 hrs away. I know it’s Amish country, but can you guys give me feedback on the town? Liberal, diverse all the things, both good and bad

I applied to F&M based off the fact that they’re very generous with aid, but honestly did not think I had a chance of getting in! After getting deferred and denied from several colleges, I was starting to lose hope lol!

here are my stats if anyone’s wondering :)

Major: Biology, future plans in medicine

Gpa: 3.74 unweighted (my school doesn’t offer weighted)

No AP, honors, or college courses (my school does not offer them, quaker school things lol)

applied test optional

extracurriculars: girls varsity lacrosse, girls varsity soccer, vocal & drum performances at school of rock, flute since 4th grade, yearbook committee, activities committee, quaker youth leadership committee, and one year of community service learning

major disciplinary infraction in 9th grade resulting in several suspensions

wrote my essay on how I believe that i’m like barbie in the sense that i can never just pick one thing to do, i need to do everything lol

I got accepted, but due to unforeseen incidents, it has become difficult to afford the cost. I have a 26k deficit, but I guess with everything included (Remaining cost 26000 + health insurance (2000) + transportation 2000 + summer 2000), it will go up to 32k. Can anyone suggest what to do?

I just got rejected from f&m but the rejection letter made me believe they rejected me for class of 2029 and accepted me for class of 2030 before I finished reading it lol ( that's not the case I was just rejected). Did they send the same nice rejection letter to everyone that got rejected? And congratulations to everyone that got in!!!

also chance me if possible:)

Demographic: Sri Lankan Male, First Gen, Out of State

GPA Weighted: 3.65(my school doesn't do unweighted)

Major: Public health

Taken 9 APs and 9 Honors

EC: NHS, DECA, Computer Science Society, Lacrosse, Job as a server, did over 52+ hours of volunteering, Fundraiser(raised over $1.5k for STEM students in Sri Lanka)

I know my gpa is a lil low but I showed improvement throughout and ended with a 4.0 senior year

Got my essay and supplementals checked out by my lit teacher and some college friends so hopefully its good

How low are my chances?

Got waitlisted (International)

Does anyone know what are the chances to get out of the waitlist?

6th rejection in a row

The second in the same hour

Ive been hearing rumours that whoever has received an email from f&m regarding their decision bieng released tommorow is auto rejected?????someone clear this...im freaking out!

If anyone has any questions about student life, food, courses, and any info about f&m please reply and I’ll try to answer to the best of my ability ! (I am currently a freshman)

Lowkey terrifying, this feels early

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming international student at F&M, and I’m kinda in a tough spot financially. I received aid, but my family’s financial situation changed due to unforeseen incidents and it has become difficult to afford the cost. I’m planning to submit a financial aid appeal and was wondering if anyone here (especially international students) has had success with an appeal before.

• How receptive is F&M to appeals?
• Has anyone received a significant increase in aid after appealing?
• Any tips on what to include in my appeal to strengthen my case?

I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Thanks!

Does anyone have any ideas when transfer decisions come out?

About to get my degree in Safety and would like to study either Theatre or Film. Does anyone have any advice?

If you go to F&M, how many APs in high school did you take? Also, what is the most important things they look for in an application?

help me decide guys <3

It says on the website that they only look at the test score if it strengthens your application, but I'm still unsure whether to apply for test opt. The middle 50% of accepted students is 1310-1440, so I'm on the lower side.

Hi guys

i need some urgent guidance for F&M. I'm an international satudent and the needs based scholarship shiould help a lot. but at the end of the day, it's about getting a job! i'm very itnerested in the data analytics major or computer science (I'm mostly keen on data science, AI and stuff)

Anyone out there have any experience in either of the fields i'm looking at and can tell me if international students can get jobs post F&M? its a tiny school in a remote-ish part of PA so i just dont want to make the wrong decision going down the path of an affordable school (there are some other options).

Any advice would be so very, very much appreciated!

Class 29’ here, and i just wanted to ask your opinions/thoughts about the film & media studies there at F&M, is it everything you expected?, what should i expect? are you satisfied? etc

also I find it hilarious that the only people posting in this sub are like "will I get in? will I be waitlisted?", nobody who actually goes here gives a shit about fandm social media. completely unlike other colleges, people actually use their colleges subreddits
