I got three 70's junior yr.. I know thats pretty bad but my grades are going up senior yr (except for pre-calc senior yr.. i dropped it but fordham wont see the grade).. I am looking into journalism so I wouldn't need math anyway.

<p>What do you think? thanks</p>

<p>anyone? this is my first choice school . .</p>

3

<p>I think you have a really good chance. You look like the average fordham student. Are you applying to LC or RH?</p>

4

<p>I agree, your chances are lookin pretty good. We have some similar stats so I hope everything goes well for you!</p>

5

<p>thanks alot guys! I'm applying to Rose Hill- that's easier to get into than LC right?</p>

6

<p>There are less people at Lincoln Center, so it is "harder" in that respect, but you can check off on your application that you will accept admission to either campus, that way if you don't get into LC you can still go.</p>

7

<p>Good luck! From what I've read about Fordham admissions, you have a good shot. Hope you get in.:) (since we have similar stats ;))</p>

8

<p>I think Rose Hill is slightly easier to get into than Lincoln Center. Chrisso hit it on the head in terms of whats easier and why.</p>

<p>thanks alot grxkn and rhapsody..I'm nervous though b/c there are some extremely top students applying to fordham from my school and I definitely don't measure up to them ..lol. The main thing that I'm worried about are the 70's from jun. yr. and a regents exam that I failed.. (the test I don't think they'd count against me.. I don't think they even look at regents ..right?)</p>

10

<p>Don't worry about that regents exam. Most states don't even take regents tests so I don't think that will hurt you in any way. You match the average Fordham student so just relax and everything will be ok. Good luck!</p>

11

<p>thanks everyone for your responses.. good luck to you all.. just one more question lol.. how will they view the dropped pre-calc class?</p>

12

<p>They'll probably look at it but I don't think it's going to kill you or anything. I'm not a math person myself.</p>

13

<p>thanks rhapsody... you've been very helpful.. I hope we both get in . .lol. Good luck.</p>

14

<p>You're welcome, best of luck to you! Please let me know how it goes.</p>

15

<p>umm i think you have a really good shot...if you go to a really competitive hs then that GPA for fordham is really good</p>

16

<p>thanks .. my hs isn't super competitive but there are a good amount of students who go off to ivy league schools every yr.</p>
