<p>I dont speak for the school in any shape or form...particularly the admissions office.</p>
<p>However, you should know that two years ago they had 14,000 applications. Last year they reached 22,000 applications...that is unheard of and really in the stratosphere.....</p>
<p>and they waitlisted a LOT of people this year because of that.</p>
<p>Your GPA and class rank and AP schedule look good. But your SAT may need to be bumped up, as they anticipate even MORE applications for this coming admissions cycle.</p>
<p>I would retake your ACT and SAT. It cant hurt.</p>
<p>Here are the stats for the 2006-2007 Admissions Cycle
(Source: Father Joesph McShane at his "State of the University" Address in May)</p>
<p>Applications: 22,000
Applicants admitted: Around 9,100
Acceptance Rate: ~42%
Previous Yield: ~20%
Expected Freshman Class: 1700 - 1750
Proportion of Freshman in CBA: ~40% of Freshman class (around 680 or so).
Average SAT: 1235 to a 1250</p>
<p>I don't have the numbers for Lincoln Center, they were not discussed.</p>
<p>They expect more applications this year than last. As for the number of "seats" it depends on the number of dormrooms. 1600-1700 is what I heard, but I wont refute Fordham217. Average SAT's are rising. To get a scholarship you need a 2100, I am told. To be safe, I would aim for at least a 1300 on math and critical reading score and 1850 total, or higher.</p>
<p>Fordham is an academic school that stresses old fashioned critical analysis, writing and research. Students write a lot of papers I am told. </p>
<p>My D got in as a "match" school based on her scores and gpa. She completed9 AP courses. She chose Fordham because of the strength of the faculty, programs, and other factors.....and the Jesuit ethics and ethos.</p>
<p>I am a firm believer in going to the school that is the best fit for YOU (your kid), which is different for everyone. </p>
