<p>Hey guys, any help would be awesome :) I was wondering what you think I should do to help my chances with getting into Fordham as it is my #1 and I am hoping to get in. By the way, do you think an interview would be beneficial?</p>

<p>Edit: One extra question, does Fordham only look at Critical Reading + Math or is Writing important to them as well? I ask this because as I prepare to retake the SAT I am wondering if I should work to up my current 650 Writing grade or should I just focus on getting 730 ish Math and Reading. Thanks again.</p>

<p>Judging from my first daughter's stats...she was accepted but didn't go....you will have no problem. My daughter had a much higher GPA but lower SATs. I think you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Yes...I concur. You may want to discuss and explain your gpa situation. Unless you took all AP classes, which is self explanatory. But you are in, I think. Its a great school.</p>
