<p>So after seeing a few posts on here I'm getting a little nervous about Fordham. I applied to the Lincoln Center campus regular decision. I have a 4.18 weighted GPA and a 1220 SAT (old). I applied for Visual Arts, so I also had a portfolio review. Initially, I thought that Fordham was sort of a safety school, but now I am getting nervous. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>What's your unweighted GPA? You're SAT could be higher, but it's decent. What's your math and verbal breakdown? I guess it could still be your safety, but I'm not sure cause you're applying for special program. I guess it depends on your portfolio too. Good luck =)</p>
<p>I don't think you should be nervous. You have good grades and your SAT score is okay. And if you applied as a Visual Arts major, your portfolio will probably be the determining factor in your decision. From collegeboard, this is the middle 50% of SAT scores:</p>
<p>SAT Reasoning Verbal: 550 - 650
SAT Reasoning Math: 540 - 640</p>
<p>So the middle 50% scored between an 1190-1290. In terms of numerical stats, a "saftey" is one where your SAT score is at the 75% mark (so above 1290).. but I think Fordham looks more at GPA thatn SAT scores (regarding students were accepted from my HS in the past years). And again, its your portfolio that will really matter- so don't be nervous! you've done all that you could! :)</p>
<p>1090
540+550=1090</p>
<p>you're in.. i think
no one takes fordham seriously anyways.. and it's acceptance rate is 90+% you gotta f*** up real bad not to get in</p>
<p>juicygal2001, you're lucky there're plenty of kids like redstorm89 out there.. haha good luck</p>
<p>oops..
as you can tell, i'm not amazing in math.</p>
<p>Wes Cali, I don't know where you are getting your acceptance statistics. </p>
<p>According to the 2006 version of the Princeton Review's 361 Best Colleges, the acceptance rate at Fordham is 50%, not 90%.</p>
<p>The book says applicants were 14,000--with 7,000 acceptances mailed out. There were, however, 2000 students that accepted a place on the wait list.</p>
<p>Even if you add in this 2,000 that's still only 64%.</p>
<p>And only 20% of those on the wait list (400 people) were eventually admitted to Fordham.</p>
<p>I agree with Calcruzer. two girls I know last yr, smarty pants too, were rejected.</p>
<p>Yeah.. the above posts are definitely correct. The acc. rate was 50% for the class of '08 and approx. 46% for the class of '09.</p>
