If your smart enough to get into Fordham youDec 31 2016Accounting
If your smart enough to get into Fordham you probably were smart enough to get into an Ivy League. Fordham was once a safety school for the Ivy League however the university has only gotten more and more challenging to gain acceptance. High academic grades are a must, extra curricular activities and a solid letter of recommendation is the bare minimum. Fordham will soon have a lower acceptance rate and with this comes interviews for potential students. Apply early and your chances will increase. Good luck future Rams.

I believe things have changed, since I was ableApr 30 2011English
I believe things have changed, since I was able to have a face-to-face interview. That most likely helped me over the hump. My grades were B+ in high school and my SAT's were pretty good but I believe the interview really helped.

I would make some calls to several individuals. See if you know someone who knows a teacher or better yet a Dean.

Fordham is becoming a more and more competitive schoolFeb 07 2004Economics
Fordham is becoming a more and more competitive school. My class average SAT score was over 1200. Also, being a well rounded student is important. Keep your GPA up and get involved in activities in high school and outside of high school. I had an interview which I would highly recommend. It lets them meet you and get more of an idea of who you are than your essay or application can tell them. Work hard and make sure you make the deadlines and you should be fine!

* Come for a tourDec 04 2003Undecided
* Come for a tour. The tour guides are very helpful and for the most part, they are honest.
* Send in your application as early as possible and get your FAFSA in if you want to qualify for scholarships. (At nearly $40G, you might need one.)
* Set up an interview. It was good to sit across a table from an admissions officer. They got to see what I was all about and I got to ask her a lot of questions which put my mind at ease. I came out of the interview feeling very sure about my acceptance.
* Write a great essay.

If you canOct 17 2003Undecided
If you can interview, do it. It could be what pushes you from the no pile to the yes. Also, make sure your essay is good. And, if you have the opportunity to visit the school, you should. Visiting Fordham made them my first choice over NYU ( I visited there, too) and I never would have seen that coming.
