<p>I have no connection with admissions, but I see no reason why you shouldn’t apply EA. You look like a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>EA is non binding. Fordham EA tends to select the very best from that pool. I think you are competitive and should apply EA. If they happen to defer you, then stay active and let RD pool determine what happens. Good luck.</p>

<p>Hi applied EA action for Fordham recently, and your stats are similar to mine (plus I’m thinking of a Political Science major too!)
Good luck :)</p>
