<p>If you applied EA, my best guess is that you will get deferred to the regular pool, and may later be wait-listed. Your GPA is OK, just below Fordham’s average. EC’s are pretty good. However, your ACT score is below Fordham’s bottom 25%, with the Math score being especially low. You may have a shot, you never know. Good luck!</p>
