<p>Please join me in welcoming our newest College Rep to College Confidential, Fordham Admiss. (As a reminder, we have taken reasonable steps to verify that our College Rep members are indeed who they claim to be. If you encounter anyone in the community who claims to be from a college's admissions office but isn't designated as a College Rep, please let us know and be wary of any advice provided.)</p>
<p>I had four years of Jesuit education, albeit at the high school level, so I'm particularly pleased to see a school with Fordham's tradition and reputation represented here at CC. Living in New York City is an education in itself, and Fordham's two campuses provide different ways to experience that.</p>
<p>Feel free to say hello in this thread, but please don't use it to ask questions - start a new thread with an appropriate title. And, since our College Reps are busy people, particularly at this time of year, please do NOT start threads asking for help specifically from the Rep - please post the query to the community in general, and you'll be likely to get multiple informed views on the subject. If The CR can provide useful input, no doubt he/she will chime in.</p>
<p>Welcome Fordham Rep! So glad to see you here!</p>
<p>Our daughter is a "new alum" of Fordham Rose Hill, Class of 2006- can't say enough about the wonderful experiences over 4 years, the level of education, the Jesuit traditions, and the beautiful campus- hope others will find their way to what is one of New York's finest assets!!! </p>
<p>thank you for the great information...my D got her acceptance today!!! She has two # 1 schools and got into both...mom likes fordham best...and D is wearing the sweatshirt I got her and hid away!!</p>
<p>I am SURE we will have lots of questions...and I am going with mom's instints that D will indeed end up on the Bronx...woohoo</p>
<p>My daughter has been accepted at Fordham LC and Skidmore; wait listed at Emory and Tufts. Deciding between Fordham LC and Skidmore presents these contrasts...Skidmore affirming community and she could major in the theatre program...Fordham...not accepted in the performance tract...can minor in theatre and reaudition in the spring of her freshman year or choose to wait and do it in the spring of her sophomore year...competition will be stiff...usually take 1 or 2 students.....if selects Fordham would major in English and minor in theatre, flipping this if she is able to get in performance tract at Fordham, at Skidmore she would major in theatre and minor or double major in English...loves New York City...not wild about Saratoga Springs or the amount of snow she would have to deal with....loves Skidmore's programing as well as Fordham's...</p>
<p>anyone know how theatre minors are treated at Fordham...are they valued and included...she loved the warmth and respect between the theatre professors and their students...is this true in other disciplines? </p>
<p>community seemed easier to happen at Skidmore...friendly at Fordham but community not as readily available</p>
<p>anyone have any other thoughts about Fordham...or Skidmore</p>
