<p>You have a 102 average? that's impressive. I would retake the SAT's so you can be considered for a scholarship.</p>

3

<p>If you get those SATs to above 2100, you have a shot at the Dean's Scholarship, a minimum of 10,000 dollars in grants a year.</p>

4

<p>You'd get into Fordham due to your impressive class rank. How come you managed to get only a 1780 on the SAT? I think you're capable of breaking a 2000 given your other impressive stats.</p>

5

<p>Due to your average/rank/EC's, you'd be considered for scholarship with even a 1950 on the SAT's. Take them again.</p>

<p>At the very least, try to make sure that each of the scores for your individual sections are above a 600 to secure a spot at Fordham. Your M and V combined is 1230, which is not terrible (its close to Fordham's average). Every year, the avg SAT score of Fordham is increasing, and they want to keep it that way to increase their selectivity and rankings. I would not be surprised if Fordham's SAT average reaches 1300 in the next year or two.</p>
