<p>Surprised you were deferred at all, unless Gabelli has different admission critieria than the general Fordham population?</p>
<p>Those stats were golden just a few years ago. Not sure what is going on here. Admissions is quirky…everywhere. If your stats are as you state, I am surprised as well. But taking what you say as accurate, I will say you have a very good chance to be admitted RD. The EA pool is often filled with uber stats and Fordham focuses on getting those kids admitted and committed. </p>
<p>Gabelli generally has stats similar to FCRH, though being a smaller school within the Fordham University colleges, it perhaps has very stringent requirements, and a higher percentage of males (I think) applying than is the case at FCRH. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Honestly I was shocked at the deferral too, I just didn’t want to sound pompous.</p>
<p>Weird stuff happens at all colleges in admissions. Sometimes its random. I have no clue. But it seems your stats are good for an RD admission.</p>
<p>You’ll get in! My last name is Russo too haha</p>
<p>I was accepted into Gabelli EA and had very similar stats to you so I’m surprised you were deferred. The only thing I had more than you is I took 5 AP Courses. So you should have a good chance!</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
