They are posted numerous times in numerous threads here. And also on the Fordham.edu website if you look hard enough. Dont mean to be snarky and coy but you arent looking hard enough…and research is a key part of college.
I find the stats a bit harder to find on the updated website.

its always funny how people waste time on here getting upset over nothing
thank you @spirit77
Sorry, but I’m not wasting your time. That reeks of being egocentric and rude to the people who you are “expecting” to answer YOUR question about admissions stats that are readily available. Its not “over nothing.” You are wasting OUR time.
Its annoying when the stats are discussed ad nauseum on threads here and they are available online at Fordham.edu. Nobody here works for admissions. We dont make decisions. And while chance me threads are ubiquitous, our opinions on admission dont matter in reality.
The point of CC, it seems to me, and for my own reason for being here is to help kids and parents with information about the school, help them discern fit and some of the intangibles, be supportive because we have been through it (my three kids) and to promote Fordham in a realistic and rational manner. I dont mind helping people at all.
There is not a single number for SAT scores that says in or out. Its a sliding scale. Use that scale to determine if Fordham is a safety, match or reach school for you based on your scores.
Just like a job interview, you dont want to go in unprepared and ask a question that will astound the interviewer as “captain obvious” or “readily available with a little bit effort”. Or bringing some attitude to the interview. That will usually result in being rejected.
And while I am at it, I find people annoying who are fishing for praise and glory and whatever by posting uber stats (like 90th percentile) and saying “Chance Me!” Baloney. They know they will get in and they are bragging. Annoying.
Once again soverign, if you don’t like a post, there is no need to reply at all.
@sovereigndebt sorry? lol idk what to say
Yes, thank you spirit77; you are always a calm voice. Students have enough stress this time of year and don’t need any more especially on this site that should welcome them and all their questions. Additional SAT/ACT info could be found if your high school uses the Naviance system. Check with your guidance counselor. Good Luck.
@marc12 thank you for understanding. ive been searching for a while for stats from the website and couldnt find them, and @spirit77 really helped me out, so thank you! Dont understand why people on this website constantly feel the need to go on rants about nothing.
Glad I could help. This information used to be very easy to find but since Fordham “improved” the website, it is very had to find. Best of luck as you go through this process.
I understand exactly what you are saying @spirit77. I remember there used to be a page that listed all the numbers for the incoming class that listed where in the US (and elsewhere) students came from along with average test scores. I know every year the average SAT score seemed to rise a little bit giving McShane the opportunity to say every year that that particular class is the brightest to ever be accepted. Now I can’t for the life of me find that outline on the website. The website is still a bit cumbersome (HA!!) but with some patience and lots of clicking (and maybe a Google search) I can usually find what I want. Except this info.
@MomTheChauffer this is so true! the website navigation is not very helpful
also, does anyone know if the act/sat scores are higher for gabelli than rose hill college? thanks!
I believe I read they look for SAT math scores above 650 for Gabelli.
