<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I was deferred from Fordham because they wanted look at my mid-year marks, and I am confused about various things. First and foremost, Fordham is my top college to go to. I love the environment there and I have visited numerous times. My mid-year marks are not fully completed to send due to the fact that they are not fully put into our school computer system and given to us until the end of this week. I have put in another letter of recommendation however, I am confused about the topic of this new essay. It did not give any prompt to work off of so I am assuming that this essay can be from a topic of our choice, am I correct? Also, I am very concerned because I do not believe I did well on my history mid-term, not due to the fact that I didn't study, but my history class has had a series of unfortunate events happen to us throughout the year, with a student teacher who did not teach very much for the two months he was here and my history teacher having to leave due to surgery. This could cause me to get a B instead of an A in the class. I have A's in all other classes however, could this essentially affect the decision? I moved up into all honors classes so I am hoping that they will see and acknowledge that however, I am still a bit unsure.</p>
<p>Thank you all!</p>
