<p>GPA is good, SATs are just a little bit low for Fordham (fine for Pace), ECs are a little light in the volunteering/leadership department.</p>

<p>Fordham--likely waitlist, possible acceptance, unlikely to be rejected outright
Pace--Match</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Try to improve in the areas I mentioned above to increase your odds of acceptance at Fordham.</p>

<p>Also, consider applying to NYU to their musical performance school (Tisch)</p>
