<p>Hey all. I’m considering Spring 2008 transfer into Fordham. I’m also in the middle of completing my application. I do have some questions, ranging from simple to a tad bit complicated.</p>
<li><p>How do you pronounce Fordham? Is it Ford-ham or Ford-hum. </p></li>
<li><p>Is the religious affiliation of that school similar to that of Brigham-Young? I like a little bit of diversity.</p></li>
<li><p>I understand internship numbers are around 80%. Are there notable recruiters that come around campus?</p></li>
<li><p>How is job placement? I’m looking for a career within New York City and I don’t want it to</p></li>
<li><p>How is financial aid there? I will be need-based and could require all the help I can get.</p></li>
<li><p>In comparison to the Kelley school of business, do you believe Fordham ranks up there wit Kelley? My two choices for the spring are Kelley and Fordham.</p></li>
<li><p>I’m also considering the likes of UNC, Georgetown, NYU, Ann Harbor for Fall 2008. My stats aren’t as impressive, but do you believe I should say if I get accepted? I understand its my decision, but some advice would be great.</p></li>

the school is religiously affiliated, buts its in new york city! of course there is diversity of faith. im not catholic or religious at all…and i know tons of others of different faiths going to fordham.</p></li>

<p>thats not all of them…but there you have some now.</p>
<h1>1 - superstarr567 is right, it’s ford-um.</h1>
<h1>2 - Fordham is nothing like Brigham-Young. I haven’t met a student who isn’t open-minded. Comparing Fordham to Brigham-Young is like comparing a Holy Cross to Grove City.</h1>
<h1>3 - Yes there are huge recruiting fairs twice a year. If you want an internship, it’s not hard to get.</h1>
<h1>4 - Didn’t quite understand the last part of this question, but job placement is really good. If you graduate from CBA and are good about pursuing a career on Wall Street or in Midtown, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.</h1>
<h1>5 - Fordham is just like most other private schools w/ fin-aid. They say that they’ll give you what you need, and there are merit based scholarships, but of course, the packages seem to be lacking.</h1>
<h1>6 - Don’t know anything about Indiana’s Business School, cant really compare it to Fordham.</h1>
<h1>7 - Can’t really answer this one either. It’s your decision, pick the school you feel most comfortable at.</h1>
<p>Regarding Indiana University - Indiana has a great business program, but it will never have what Fordham has - location. It’s common knowledge that New York is one of the financial capitals of the world, and Fordham’s location provides a great opportunity to land internships. Since Fordham is in New York, it has an extremely large alumni network in the area that is also helpful when looking or a job/internship</p>
Is it Ford-ham or Ford-hum. </p></li>
