<p>thanks</p>

<p>in my personal opinion i think its a great school, im applying as well for RD (my number 1 choice is fordham), i think you should definatly apply.
We have the same exact SAT score except im (660M+490CR) It would be very interesting also to see how it goes.</p>

<p>gah, dont you hate one weak score in one area? Which other schools are you applying to? I actually hadn't really heard of Fordham before...no one from my school's really applied there that I know of...but I received that Your-Choice Application w/ a waived fee, so I thought it was worth a shot</p>

<p>It never hurts to apply Jeanna. Fordham is very competitive but you have some interesting stats and experiences....so perhaps that works out for you. I would go ahead and submit it and then cross your fingers. Its a great school...but come prepared to work!</p>

<p>Jeanna, haha yeah wouldnt it be great if we switched scores? lol, anyways im also in the NYC area so my schools focuses are around here, as for where im applying my basic list is: NYU (big reach), Fordham, Stony Brook, Rutgers -Newbruns, Stevens Institute of Tech. , and a few more im thinking of, i want to be a premed major, so yeah. I think you should apply though, Fordham is a good school i would love to go there. Its ranked i think 67 in USATODAY you can look up my chances in previous thread in this Fordham folder for more specifics.</p>
