<p>I want to go to American or Fordham University for Political Science, what are my HONEST chances?!</p>

<p>GPA: 3.2
SAT: 1540</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: (all for 4 yrs.)

Mock Trial Lawyer and Expert Witness
Drama Club
Relay for Life Committee Member and Chair

<p>I have taken honors and AP courses throughout my high school career. I've experienced many life altering situations, and I have a killer admissions essay, and additional information explaining my hardships.</p>

<p>I have been to a visit and interview for American - although I haven't visited Fordham.</p>

<p>I forgot to add, I’m planning on applying to American Test Optional</p>

<p>I would say not good. Even with test optional your GPA is low. Are you prepared to pay full or get financial aid? No merit scholarships.</p>

<p>Really depends on your life struggles though.</p>

4

<p>Yeah, unless your have a struggle or excuse for your GPA, it will really hurt you in these admissions.</p>

5

<p>What if I have a recommendation from an alum, and apply ED?</p>

<p>American: Reach
Fordham: Reach</p>

7

<p>Fordham is a high reach
They want much higher SAT and a 3.7 GPA</p>

<p>American is a reach also</p>

<p>Just thought I’d let everyone know I applied to American(ED1) and Fordham(EA). Unfortunately, I was denied from Fordham, but… I was accepted into American! </p>

<p>For those who might come across this thread in the future, never doubt yourself, because a college acceptance isn’t all about grades. I was accepted to the school of my dreams, and the worst thing they can do is say no. Remember: if you’re rejected, their missing out on you, and should never feel apologetic when applying. Good luck!</p>
