<p>You need to give us more information. A 3.0 weighted isn’t very good, do you mean unweighted? How many AP/honors classes did you take and which ones? Also, we need more information about your internships. </p>

<p>Assuming you have never taken an honors/AP class and your unweighted gpa is sub 3 with little ECs I doubt you’ll get in.</p>

3

<p>Fordham is a reach for you. Your SATs are sub-par and your GPA is quite low.</p>

<p>Ouch, a 3.0 weighted?? Much luck to you! =]</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance. Check this out: <a href=“https://www.collegedata.com/cs/admissions/admissions_tracker_result.jhtml?schoolId=1148&classYear=2013[/url]”>https://www.collegedata.com/cs/admissions/admissions_tracker_result.jhtml?schoolId=1148&classYear=2013&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It shows who you’re competing with. I notice one of the GPA’s was a 2.8 unweighted and a 3.0 weighted… and they were accepted. I also saw someone with a 3.7 GPA weighted and they were denied. So I guess it depends. I think you have a shot =)</p>

<p>Think about taking the ACT or SAT again…</p>

<p>It’s a crapshoot no matter what you do, so just know that beforehand. The fact that you’re a relatively local, URM, male should carry you decently with the Fordham adcoms. </p>

<p>3.0 weighted, not so much. But I’d report the 85, not the 3.0. Fordham’s conversion is a bit different. I think you’d be somewhere around a 3.3 on their scale. SAT’s aren’t stellar, but you never know.</p>

<p>Work experience is impressive, but other than that and the internship, it doesn’t seem like you have any others (especially in-school). That certainly won’t win you any points. </p>

<p>You might have a shot, though! So, good luck! Please let us know what happens. Fordham is my first choice for 2010 admissions, and I don’t have too awesome of a record either.</p>

<p>Fordham isn’t very hard to get into. You’ll be fine, especially with a bunch of AP classes and work experience. good luck, i applied there as well</p>

<p>@SomeGirl: yeah i saw that as well, except that person did ED and was an athlete.</p>

<p>@SomethingWitty: thanks for the reply! it was really thought out and a good insight.</p>

<p>@Andrew: do you mind me asking what your GPA/SAT was? and you applied this year?</p>

<p>is there anyone else that can chance?
please dont hold back. :]</p>

11

<p>bump. any more chances :]</p>

<p>cheers!</p>

12

<p>how do you have an 85/3 GPA?? i thought it’s out of 3</p>

13

<p>its 3.0 weighted.
when converted to a hundred scale thats an 85.
hope it helped!
still looking for chances as the date nears!</p>
