<p>Intended major: Economics</p>

<p>If it matters at all i'm an Indonesian-American. </p>

AP: Psych, Art History, English Lang and Comp, Comp Sci, World History, US History- All 5s, (self studied Psych and World History) </p>

<p>Fordham’s average UW GPA is 3.7, but your SAT/AP scores are awesome. I think you’re in. Anyone else?</p>

<p>In and maybe with money. Fordham pays a LOT of attention to SAT scores when handing out scholarships. The single largest factor in deciding who gets money and how much.</p>

<p>Fordham is a great school.</p>

<p>I think you have a really good change I had a low GPA 3.2 But i got in with a 1290/1890 SAT</p>

<p>You’re fine, I was accepted with a lower GPA and good but still lower SAT’s then yours and was still given a scholarship. =]</p>

<p>I am also a golfer, but you have to go to Rose Hill to do any varsity sport. Also, idk if you’ve checked out their team stats but if you plan to play in college I would before making any decisions.</p>

<p>You’re going to get in but I can’t say for sure how much, if any, scholarship you’ll receive. Yes, SAT is very important for Fordham, but GPA is equally important since they’re given equal weight on the U.S. news rankings. My best bet is that your GPA and SAT will neutralize each other and you’ll probably get in with some (maybe half?) merit scholarship. If you had a higher GPA (3.8+), you’d probably be on full scholarship! Good luck!</p>
