What are my chances at Fordham with a 1.8 GPA?

<p>It would have been interesting to know what happened.</p>

<p>Accepted. :)</p>

<p>doesn’t mean u will pass your classes…u probably won’t</p>

<p>^^Hey, now…no reason to be rude!</p>

<p>Personally, I am not sure I buy it. I would think SomeGirl would have been overjoyed at an acceptance to her dream school and posted on the decisions thread or updated this thread without being asked. She’s lacked presence on this forum unlike so many who have been accepted and are asking questions about life at Fordham, FA, core classes, etc. Call me a skeptic, call me a New Yorker.</p>

<p>If SomeGirl did somehow get accepted, and I DO believe in miracles, then I wish her the best of luck and hope that she can turn her life around.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity I looked through her past threads… and she is bluffing lol.</p>

<p>Thanks to saitsxreign I got curious too… for anyone else who’d like to know if this is real:

<p>Apparently Somegirl has a 1.8/ 3.0/ 2.7 GPA and scored a 17/ 33/ 30/ 34 on the ACT. She is African American/ Native American/ Asian/ Ethiopian, talk about URM!!! She seems to be an African studies major although I’m not positive since what she actually said was “Afrkan studies.” I could go on with holes in her story like this… but I think the most upsetting thing about all she’s said is the following:
Her father died twice once 3 days before hs started then again 2 days after it started. I have no compassion for anyone who would ever think of lying about something like that.</p>

<p>Look I had a 1.3 gpa going into junior year…then after I had a 2.0 …my sats were like a 1770 and act 26 and I got into fordham full ride…so check this out…dnt believe what anyone says…they dnt know what they r talking about bc they are not admission officers. So with that said, they only way you would know is if you apply and get a reply…dnt let anyone tell you that you cnt make it bc cc is full of bitter rejects who dnt believe anyone qualifes to a certain college bc they didn’t…honestly I think you have a chance bc everyone has a chance and I wish you the best of luck :)</p>

<p>^^Did you read the whole thread? Apparently SomeGirl is a bit of a storyteller. And the CCers who have been responding are NOT bitter rejects. </p>

<p>You, on the other hand, may have an inspiring TRUE story though and a quick search of your prior posts indicates that you not only had an upward trend with a 3.8 junior and senior years BUT additionally your college essay was “THE BEST ESSAY EVER WRITTEN about your impoverished living conditions in sudan and in the south bronx.” Congratulations on your acceptance and full tuition grant! Best of luck at Fordham! :)</p>

<p>This is exactly why I don’t believe 99% of the things on CC</p>

<p>^ maybe you shouldn’t believe 40% of the things…but most things are true ;)</p>

<p>Next to ZERO. I’m sorry to say, but a 1.8 GPA isn’t even a C average.
I feel annoyed that Fordham sends out letters to everyone, making them think they actually have a shot there. THey are just trying to fill their quota, I believe.</p>

<p>I do not have the highest grades, either. But at least a pinch higher than that.</p>
