I’ll be applying to Fordham in the fall and am a bit scared because my SAT isn’t very strong!!! I would really appreciate it if someone would be able to estimate my chances- I appreciate your help in advance!
Academics

  • GPA (weighted, my school doesn’t do unweighted)- 3.92
  • SAT: 1320 (700 english, 620 math [<— this is the issue])
  • AP classes: 5 on AP Lang, taking AP art, AP Spanish, AP Econ, and AP Lit during my senior year
  • Passed STAMP Biliteracy Exam, meaning I am certified Bilingual in Spanish by my state
    Extracurriculars
  • 140+ volunteer hours at local nursing home
  • Editor-In-Chief of my school newspaper, also served as publicity director
  • Writes for out-of-school, student-run newspaper
  • VP of my school’s Junior State of America
  • National Honor Society member and a Senior Ambassador (helps with freshman and stuff)
  • Relay For Life coordinator for two years
  • Won awards for my art
    I’m a Greek female, first-generation, and will probably apply early action as a Journalism major.

Hi! I am going to be a freshman at Fordham RH this year and my college application process just ended so I totally understand the stress that you are feeling. I feel confident that you will get accepted. Your GPA and activities are very strong plus your SAT is nothing to be ashamed of. My English ACT score was 10 points higher than my ACT math score and I still got a lot more scholarship money than I was expecting. Just make sure that you have a strong essay, great rec letters, and take a breath; it will all work out.
