<p>Just wondering what my chances of getting into Fordham are. It's my #1 choice.</p>
<p>ACT Composite: 27
Unweighted GPA: a measly 3.2</p>
<p>I am probably in the top half of my class</p>
<p>Activities: Football 9 10 11 12, Leadership team, Eucharistic Minister</p>
<p>Work: Deli 9 10, Doctor's Office 11 12</p>
<p>I am Catholic, and I am Puerto Rican.</p>
<p>I have good recommendations from teachers who attended Fordham and I have a good essay. I am also coming from Catholic school.</p>
<p>Major is Undecided but i'd like to attend Lincoln Center</p>
<p>Also, please tell me if you have any other good matches.</p>
<p>Even as an Hispanic, FU is probably reachy for you, unless you increase your SATs/ACT.</p>
<p>The GPA is also low.</p>
<p>I would suggest, for match catholic schools in NY area, you consider Siena, Fairfield, St. John's.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Thank you for your replies.</p>
<p>Fordham is #61 on USnews</p>
<p>More opinions will be appreciated!</p>
<p>What's your weighted GPA?</p>
<p>Not positive but it should be around 3.45 - 3.5</p>
<p>Also, i go to a very competitive private high school with a rigorous program</p>
<p>You know, on second thought, I would not sday that FU is reachy for you, despite my prior post.</p>
<p>As a Hispanic, your 27 is probably more than good enough to get you in, and your WGPA is decent too.</p>
<p>I would say good chance.</p>

<p>I am not 100% Puerto Rican, but i am more that than anything else.</p>
<p>SAT scores came in today</p>
<p>CR- 570
M- 610
W- 620</p>
<p>not sure if i should send them since my ACT is equivalent to a 1220/1600 with my SAT only being an 1180/1600</p>
<p>Hey do you go to servite?!</p>
<p>I just got into Fordham</p>
<p>Im Black
GPA 3.11 W
ACT 29
ASB President, Founder of a club, Varsity Starter 4 years and now Captain, worked as a sports camp counselor, a grocery store and retail 3 summers in a row.
Also coming from a catholic school, but not catholic. and i applied to rose hill. major undecided. You should be fine, but I would also consider St. John's and Seton Hall if you want to be near the city.</p>
