<p>anyone..please!</p>
<p>thecollegekid and avtussel07: The first thing that you should both do is contact Fordham admissions at 1-800-FORDHAM and ask to speak with an admissions counselor for transfer students, and make sure you get that person's name, because it's very important to establish contact for follow-up. Also, if at all possible, arrange with that person to come into Fordham for an interview. Also, it might be possible for you to meet with the Dean/Chairman of the school/department you're interested in transferring into. Schools are impressed if you are really passionate about your reason for transferring and also in terms of what you're planning on studying. If you know anyone who currently attends Fordham, make sure that you mention his/her name, their class/year, what they're studying, and any other pertinent information that you think would help the transfer. It is important to be persistent and to have them see you as an individual (which they do) and not as a number. Since you're taking college level courses, they'll probably be looking more at your current GPA and not the SAT, because the SAT is usually weighed less after a student has been out of high school for a year or more. Again, the admissions counselor would be the best person to answer this type of question.</p>
<p>thank you so much for the advice- so much</p>
<p>avtussel07: Best of luck to you! It sounds like you have a lot going for you, and you'll do well.</p>
<p>You both probably have excellent chances.</p>
