<p>Fordham will not be offering anymore interviews. You can schedule a Summer Visit Day on <a href="http://www.fordham.edu/admissions%5B/url%5D">www.fordham.edu/admissions</a> and register a username and password. We have events from July 3rd through August 24th. I suggest you to visit RH in the morning and LC in the afternoon or vice versa.</p>
<p>Thanks!
Does anyone else have an opinion?</p>
<p>Please see my other posts on the fordham thread relating to "chances". I don't and won't speak for anyone at Fordham, and I would not venture a guess on what they will do. All I suggest to you is that you look hard at the stats for the past three years at Fordham, get a hold of a strong college compendium like Barrons or Petersens etc, and then pick 2 reach, 2 match, and 2 safety schools...or more....and embrace your safety schools. Its a tough road to travel these days in college admissions because of the demographics. Visit as many schools as you can this summer.</p>
<p>Talk to as many people as you can. And work like a dog next semester on your classes and grades.</p>
<p>I am of the opinion that too many EC's hurts you more than helps you, because it takes away from study time and grades are always more important than EC's, unless you are an athlete who is being recruited, and being involved in too many things means you are likely not superior at anything. Its better to be involved in one or two EC's and follow through with those as best you can.</p>
<p>But that is my opinion and others may very well have a different opinion.</p>
<p>And know that you are a good person with a lot to offer a college....and finding that right college for you is a lot of hard work for you (and likely your parents and counselors), but its worth it in the end. There are 3,000 colleges in the United States and with your stats you will find a perfect place just for you, where you fit in, where you will be challenged, and where you will succeed. Good Luck!</p>
