My d deferred as well. Stats higher than some on this thread. Sometimes I think they just roll the dice and decide!

Yea I guess. Sucks that all the hard work becomes into something based off of “randomness.” Congrats on your admission to both schools though! Best of luck!

The CS enrollment is pretty small (88 graduated last year) and is unranked on US News. Did you research and like the program? fordham is not an engineering school.
Oh really? Nah I didn’t research anything about it. Just applied last minute because I heard a lot of Wall St. folks were alums from there. Thanks for letting me know.
That is true. you will have to apply to the Gabelli School of Business.
The computer science major is not in the business school.
I meant the wall street folks are likely from business school.
Computer science majors can get some Wall St. jobs as well.

Yours is not a terrible rationale for applying to Fordham as a CS major, depending on what your other options are. Wall Street pays its technologists incredibly well, and it is surprisingly not that hung up on school pedigree once you get outside of the corporate finance and some of the trading groups.
