<p>Congrats Sylvan. Welcome to the Fordham family! If you need more money, file a FAFSA in January and ask for financial aid…loans, grants whatever.</p>
<p>Its a wonderful school with wonderful people. Fordham will challenge your son. Its a very academic school. Writing a LOT of papers. Lots and lots of very very bright students there, but not cutthroat.</p>

[<em>] SAT: 2210 (760 R / 720 M / 730 W)
[</em>] SAT IIs: U.S. History, 800; Math Level II, 670
[<em>] GPA: 4.00 UW / 4.214 W (as of end Junior year, a bit higher now)
[</em>] Rank: 11/300? again as of end junior year, a bit higher now
[<em>] Other stats:
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: I don’t know how much it said about me specifically, but it definitely showed a strong interest in my major (Economics). Very well written and I like it a lot, although I think a person’s assessment of the essay would depend on their ideology. In short, IDK how admissions would view it. If they’re fiscally liberal, they would probably not like it.
[<em>] ECs: Chess Club, Camerata Singers, Spring Musical, Quiz Bowl, orchestra/choir, NHS, German NHS
[</em>] Teacher Recs: From my economics teacher, I did not see it but I’m sure it is great because he really likes me, I do well in his class & show very strong interest in econ
[<em>] Counselor Rec: probably not good, she doesn’t know me aside from the “cheat sheet”
[</em>] Hook (if any): first generation college
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[<em>] State or Country: Pennsylvania
[</em>] School Type: Public, probably about average, although with pretty significant grade inflation (way too many people with 4.0’s)
[<em>] Ethnicity: White
[</em>] Gender: Male
[/ul]Other Factors: General Comments: Was offered Dean’s scholarship; $10,000/more. Fordham is not my first choice but it’s certainly an option that I would be happy with if offered strong financial aid.</p>
