<p>Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could offer some input as to my chances of being accepted to Fordham EA this year for fall 2012. (I'm a current high school senior)</p>

<p>My weighted GPA is 3.7
My unweighted GPA is 3.45</p>

<p>I got a 2140 on the SATs
for the SAT IIs I got a 760 on Literature and 650 on Math 1</p>

<p>I also had a serious extenuating medical circumstance for the first 2.5 years of high school, which impacted my grades. There is definitely a marked improvement in my grades between when I was dealing with these issues and after. Additionally, I may mention them on my application, and they come up to a certain extent in my essay.</p>

<p>Fordham has been sending me regular emails, and they did offer me the chance to use the 'Your Choice' application. I will probably apply as an undecided major.</p>

<p>I feel like I have a pretty good chance of getting in, but what are your thoughts? Do you think I would be eligible for financial aid, as well?</p>

<p>I think your GPA is low according to their recent class profile. They are looking for 3.7 I think your SAT is above their average so you should be good there.</p>

<p>IF there were circumstances that impacted your grades they should know. Applying EA may be tough for you as they’ll probably want to see your senior year grades.</p>

<p>I thought I read somewhere (maybe on this forum) that the 3.7 at Fordham is a weighted GPA. Plus your SATs are definitely above the average for Fordham.
