Tips for Getting In
  • Apply yourself in high school and earn a high GPA.
  • Be honest about your achievements and about who you are in your essay.
  • Do well on your SATs or ACTs. Take them a few times if you have to in order to obtain the highest score possible.
  • Excel in a sport to gain recognition and possible scholarships.
  • Hold a leadership position for a club or team to demonstrate responsibility.
  • If Fordham visits your high school, attend the information session and speak to the admissions counselor making the presentation.
  • Make your application memorable by writing a unique essay that expresses your personality.
  • Showing commitment to one activity is better than joining 10 clubs during your junior year.
  • Take AP courses and score at least a 3 in as many as possible. It will help you get in and give you extra credits once you're in college.
  • Visit the school to make sure it's a good fit for you. This will also help in the application process when you are asked why you want to attend.
  • Volunteer and do community service.
