<p>I'm a junior, but I like thinking ahead. :)
I plan on applying to Fordham LC next year, majoring in English.</p>
<p>Hispanic female. Florida. Competitive public high school.
GPA: 3.7 uw, 4.1 w
ACT: 22
ACT re-take: 26
I haven't taken the SAT yet.</p>
<p>All honors and DE courses, one AP.
Mostly A's, a few B's, and one C freshman year.</p>
<p>Volunteer tutor.
Volunteer at my church.
Dean's list.
County Film Festival honorable mention award
Member of a few clubs</p>
<p>Getting a good rec. from my guidance counselor</p>
<p>In your honest opinion, do I stand a chance at getting admitted?</p>
<p>Also, do any of you know if English is a popular major at Fordham.
And are there internships available?</p>
<p>I will also be applying next year (ro Rose Hill however) and also an english major. Our UW GPA’s are the same, i’ll have about 6 AP classes and some honors. All math/science were regular. </p>
<p>My ACT was only slightly better than yours and I took the SAT once - math kills me and my math SAT was incredibly poor. Reading/writing were 630/600. I’ll try again in the fall.</p>
<p>To be honest, I think Fordham is a pretty big reach for me. Admissions are getting more difficult.</p>
<p>My top two choices right now are Providence College and Loyola. They are both test optional so that may help. However, my reading/writing SAT scores are at their 75% but math is below their 25%. So, not sure whether to submit or not.</p>
<p>Hey guys! I think I might be able to help. I was admitted off of the waitlist for the Class of 2015. I took all IB (similar to AP) classes and had an 87 (I think that’s a 3.2) average over my four years hs. My SAT was a 1770 out of 2400 and 1190 out of 1600. I got a 28 on my ACTs. I took SAT IIs but the grades weren’t great; about a 550 on each. I was definitely on the lower side of the spectrum of those grades admitted, but I also did a good amount of community service which Fordham really values. So basically, if your grades are better than mine and you are active in your community, you’re in. 
Hope this helps!</p>
<p>congrats! Did you submit both SAT and ACT? Your ACT is right in the middle of their range, so that helped.</p>
<p>Thanks! And yeah I submitted everything I had. But my ACTs were the only thing in their range. If you make up for it in your average or SATs then you’ll do fine</p>
<p>Your application will be reviewed holistically so write a great essay and package yourself well. Bringing up your standardized test scores if possible can only help.</p>
<p>My S considered majoring in English (double with Playwriting) and he is at LC…he loved the two classes he took his first year. I don’t know what internships are available but I’m sure there are some that would interest you. Good luck! :)</p>
