    I realize my GPA is lower then it should be but I suffered a variety of health issues my sophomore year which hurt my grade as I was unable to attend school regally but I do have medical record proving that was the reason. Also I have never gotten below an A in any of my AP’s. I’m really interest in this school as well as Fordham university and i’m looking to double major in political science and international relations with a minor in middle eastern studies. Thanks so much for your time!!!

You will get into Fordham. You’re near their 75% SAT threshold, and you have time to bring up the GPA. With all those APs, your recalculated college GPA will be a lot higher than that 3.5. I would not worry.

You seem like a great candidate for both schools. Your SAT is good for both and you do have time to bring GPA up though for the two schools you mentioned I don’t think GPA will harm you too much. Best of luck!

You will get into both schools. SAT is up there and well qualifies for admission there. Your GPA is low, but it isn’t terrible, and your SAT score confirms that. EC’s show a passion that goes along with your intended fields of study. You should be good to go for both schools.
