<p>Come now....you are kidding right? The question is whether you want to attend Fordham and if its just another acceptance letter for you to have around the house. </p>

<p>I'm sorry, but I get a bit tired of these kids with such high stats and EC's posting that stuff on this site. I am not denigrating your hard work and accomplishments. </p>

<p>You will get into Fordham and with merit money. </p>

<p>It is my view, however, that for Fordham to advance significantly towards its 2016 plan, and become a premier NATIONAL university, it must become less New York centric. It should recruit more heavily OUTSIDE of the region. There are tens of thousands of kids with wonderful stats and EC's out there. Many of them would consider going to school in New York (presuming we all survive this global financial meltdown), and Fordham would be on their radar screen if they were recruited or had information about Fordham. That is how ALL the big name schools got where they did: Notre Dame, Georgetown, BC, Tufts, NYU, Columbia and some flagship state schools. They did it by recruiting nationally. </p>

<p>And I think its good for kids to go away to college. Just my two cents. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
