<p>Do you have the budget to aim higher?</p>

<p>You have a great shot, but they may defer/waitlist you because you are heavily over-qualified for Fordham. Make sure to visit campus, demonstrate interest and explore all of your options. I had a slightly lower GPA and around the ballpark SAT and was deferred. That being said, Fordham’s campus is really beautiful and I liked its’ campus probably most of all the school I visited. Definitely visit.</p>
