Transfer Chances...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Fordham University

<p>I'm from California, hoping to transfer to Fordham Lincoln Center Spring '06. I graduated June 2005, but I didn't hear of Fordham until a couple months ago, making it too late to apply for Fall. So, with that said, here are my highschool stats. I obviously do not have any college transfer stats, but I am determined to do the best to make my chances of transferring better.</p>

<p>I also just came back from NYC this week, and I had an interview with an admissions officer on Aug 11, 2005 (Thursday)... but it was honestly more or less like a one-on-one info session, so I'm hoping to hear about what you guys think....</p>

<p>LC is a really small school-(not to get your hopes down, you have a good shot of making it and I really hope you do)</p>

<p>but my incoming freshman class is only about 440 students. If you want to go to fordham and dont mind the bronx you should try the RH one as well...not sure how they do it if its a 1st choice thing or an whichever accepts you thing. </p>

<p>hope to see you around LC.</p>
