<p>Excluding the theatre program (whose acceptance rate is lower than that of the Law School), Lincoln Center is somewhat easier to get into than the Rose Hill campus (I believe they had around a 45% accept rate last year. Another important factor is if you are a male or a female. If you’re a male applying to LC, you have a much better chance of getting in than a female, because of the high female to male ratio). Lincoln Centers campus is made up of approximatley 50% commuters, as where Rose Hill’s is less than 20%. </p>
<p>As I’m sure you all know, Fordham’s acceptance rate has fallen yet another 4% this year to 42%. Most of the increased applications are for the Rose Hill campus (a majority of the increase goes to CBA, but there are still marked increases at Fordham College - Rose Hill). Rose Hill houses the MAIN undergraduate colleges, and has only a few graduate programs on its campus. Lincoln Center, on the other hand, is almost the complete opposite. The undergrad population is roughly 1100 students, out of a total of around 8000 to 10,000 (I may be slightly off on these figures, but the point of what I’m trying to say is still the same). Basically, Rose Hill is the undergrad centered campus, and LC is the graduate centered campus. </p>
<p>Both are awesome locations. But one should always look a little closely at the demographics of a campus. If you really want to be in Manhattan and just can’t bear to take the 17 minute Metro-North train ride into the city, then go to LC. If you want more individual attention, and a bigger, more traditional campus, you go to Rose Hill.</p>
