<p>I don’t know enough about the transfer process to chance you, but I would suggest that you take a look at Fordham’s core curriculum so you can be sure you can complete the core and your major and graduate on time. It may be useful to look at this before you plan your courses out for this coming spring. [Core</a> Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.fordham.edu/academics/colleges__graduate_s/undergraduate_colleg/fordham_college_at_r/core_curriculum/index.asp]Core”>http://www.fordham.edu/academics/colleges__graduate_s/undergraduate_colleg/fordham_college_at_r/core_curriculum/index.asp)
Good luck.</p>

<p>I have already printed it out and have the courses selected. Thanks for the advice.</p>

<p>you have a good shot. I was just admitted for the spring with a 3.699 and a similar amount of credits, my highschool grades were a little higher but you’ve proven yourself at a college level so they will look at that less.
Good ec’s, good essay, and demonstrate a sincere desire to go to fordham and i had to guess you’ll be admitted.
best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks man, did you hear back in a few weeks? Whats your major? And how are the scholarships that they give? Sorry, thought I’d pick your brain a bit lol</p>

<p>no problem. Well it took over a month to hear back on the admission decision, i still have not heard about financial aid/scholarships but im anxious to. I dont know if you want on campus housing but don’t count on it. There is no on campus housing for this spring and typically a limited amount for the fall. Apply as early as you can and your chances are better.
I’m a political science major by the way</p>

<p>I talked to the councelors and they said the same, I’m gonna send my app in the beginning of January to try and get a nice room lol from what I was told the aid can be really good! Better than Gonzaga university is offering.</p>
