<p>My quetion is if Ivy leagues such as Columbia, University of Penn, Harvard, etc. accept many business students from Fordham? Is it common for Fordham undergraduate students to move on to the most elite schools?</p>
<p>Yes. Look at the Fordham website. Many routinely get into prestigious elite schools INCLUDING but not limited to the Ivy League for graduate and professional schools. Many of course go to work in Manhattan, either Wallstreet or a midtown industry like television production or journalism. Fordham is VERY respected, particularly in Manhattan. </p>
<p>Frankly, I think the reason people are willing to load up on student loans at Fordham and dont fret about it too much is because they know they will be earning a lot of money down the road.</p>
<p>And of course, Fordham's own graduate programs are superb. Their law school is recognized as a national LEADER in Legal Ethics and Social and Business Ethics. Its former Dean was named as Chairman of the New York State Ethics Commission with authority over public officials. </p>
<p>As they say in my part of the country, "aint no flies on Fordham!"</p>
<p>Fordham University is by far the best university I have ever attended. I don’t mean to delude prospective students from attending Fordham; however the school is an academic power house. I have been accepted to Harvard, Yale, and UPenn, and for some odd reason have been rejected by Cornell, Duke and Georgetown. The Ivy League schools are completely unpredictable. I have had a great four years at Fordham and I would try to convince any prospective student of attending this school. Yes, this school believes in grade deflation, and academics are hard; but what you gain from this school is a great education with an amazing tradition.</p>
<p>I really hate that grade deflation BS. It puts me at a disadvantage when applying to law school.</p>
<p>Grade deflation isn’t much of an issue when you’re smarter than the average student. And, if you’re going to be in CBA and you hope on getting into an Ivy League for grad school, you’re probably be smarter than the average student in your classes. (In fact, I doubt if they even have grade deflation in CBA…) As long as you have a good GPA, good recs, and a good resum</p>
