<p>you've been here for a few days as have I yet you've made 30! threads... i see fordhamgrad's point</p>
<p>yeah i apologize for going a little overboard. just had lots of questions and kinda asked them all at once</p>
<p>just found out my gpa isn't 3.3 like i predicted, it's higher. the only gpa the colleges will see is 3.9, so i guess that's good, dont know.</p>
<p>Hi Eskimo
Good luck with Fordham. I was wondering, did you by any chance consider Drew as a near-to-New York safety school? It is an easy train ride to Manhattan and it is SAT optional. SAT optional schools are probably good safety schools for you. There are others you could check out.
Best wishes. When this is all over with, let us know where you end up going, okay?</p>

I thought of one other idea for a safety school for you. It's good to have a lot of ideas for colleges and you have some great colleges on your list but you do seem low on safety schools. (My daughters guidance counsellor urges everyone to apply to two safety schools.) Have you considered DePaul? It's a big school in a really neat urban area in Chicago and they have a lot of good programs. It is not too hard to get into, and I think they would be likely to appreciate you. The students who we know who are there really like it there, and it has won votes for being fun. And the admission application deadline is not til Feb 1. The feel of the campus is like the feel of the NYU campus, as much as Chicago can be like New York - I mean you aren't on an isolated campus. This isnt for everyone but I see you applied to NYU so maybe you would consider it. Good luck.</p>
<p>MidwestMom2Kids_- thanks so much for your input, i looked into those schools :)</p>
<p>anyone else out there?</p>
<p>Why are you all so harsh? I do not believe that anyone here is an admissions officer. If 'eskimo208" has applied to Fordham and looks forward to hearing from the school then you all should not put her options down. Who knows come April she probably will be accepted into Fordham and then how would you all look?</p>
<p>thanks abby. i got in.</p>
<p>Aw darling congratss... me too.. haha to all the losers who put people down.</p>
<p>Good luck! I see that you are taking advantage of your opportunities quite well.</p>
