<p>I know that Fordham has become increasingly competitive, and no one is, by any means, a shoe-in. My first choice is NYU, but it is becoming ever-clearer to me that it is a bit of a long shot. I respect Fordham immensely, and don't just consider it a fallback. It is a close second choice (and depending on my visit this summer, it could become my first). So, as someone who considers NYU a bit of a reach, would I have a better shot of getting into Fordham (my problem areas are more-than-likely going to be my test scores)?</p>
<p>As of right now you'd stand a better chance of getting into Fordham. That said, admission standards at Fordham are definitely becoming more stringent each passing year.</p>
