<p>I'd say Fordham is kind of a reach for you. Your GPA and your SAT scores are very low.
The average GPA for the class of 2012 was 3.7, and the average SAT score (M+CR only) was between 1200-1350.</p>

<p>If you're applying to CBA, place a strong emphasis on your work experience/leadership role when writing out your essay.</p>

<p>Take the SAT and see where you are. Strive for 1300 core SAT score. Anything below 1200 is VERY iffy at Fordham.</p>

4

<p>If your SATs are lower than 1200 but you're a transfer student... with a high H.S GPA and College GPA, are the chances better?</p>

<p>If you are a transfer student who has been in college for more than 1 year, or who is over the age of 21, you do not need to submit SAT's - at least that was the rule last year, but things change. If would check if you fall in this category.</p>
