Colleges and Universities A-Z Fordham University
1

<p>My SATs are in their lower range, but my gpA.. eh...</p>

<p>I do have an upward trend though, if that helps.</p>

2

<p>What about your EAs? Ethnicity?</p>

3

<p>What do you mean by EAs?</p>

<p>And i am black, so I am sure that helps a lot.</p>

4

<p>i had a 3.4 and a 1980 and i got deffered when i applied EA</p>

5

<p>well that answers my question..</p>

6

<p>yah i applied EA and got deferred with a 3.663 and 1140/1740 sats</p>

7

<p>Bump...........</p>

8

<p>Im new here and have similar stats. I will be applying RD so I pray I get in, I've always dreamed of living in NY</p>

9

<p>i was accepted EA with 1200....or 1790 out of 2400</p>

10

<p>I had an upward trend in my grades too and I was accepted. keep the good grades coming.</p>

<p>I had a 3.3 GPA and a 28 ACT
Plus your ethnicity will help you
Good luck</p>

<p>PatM, i got deferred with a 1180/1760. wat was ur GPA/rank/SAT IIs?</p>

12

<p>gpa: 4.0+ weighted ; 3.95 unweighted
rank: 7/250
no sat IIs</p>

13

<p>I had a 3.38 unweighted (4.9 weighted) and an SAT of 1830 and I was accepted. However, I'm also taking five APs this year and took 4 last year. This year my only non-APs are band, and tutoring. So, that might have played a part in my acceptance. Also my class rank is 67/700 or so. (It might be 600 I can't remember)</p>

<p>Either way you probably stand a chance.</p>

14

<p>but it is not living in NY
especially the neighborhood near the school is a hellhole
the campus is unbelievable though</p>

15

<p>theres a shot, not like a major reach</p>

16

<p>"especially the neighborhood near the school is a hellhole"
??
Fordham has 2 or 3 campus... You are talking about the one in Bronx?
They have one in Lincoln Center... which seemed pretty good.</p>

17

<p>If you live outside of the Tristate area, you generally have a better chance at getting in.</p>

18

<p>The Bronx in general is a bad place but the neighborhood around the Rose Hill campus is nice and safe. Lincoln Center is, well, NEW YORK CITY, nuff said</p>

19

<p>I was probably being generous in calling the neighborhood AROUND the campus a hellhole - theres literally like barbed fences and rundown apartments. The campus however is really really nice, one of the better one's I have seen.</p>

<p>I thoroughly enjoyed living in the Bronx and would not want to have had it any other way.</p>
