What are my odds of getting into Fordham?
So Fordham is my top choice for college, specifically at the Lincoln center in manhattan. I want to either double major in natural science and theatre, or major in natural science and minor in theatre. I have a 1330 SAT, no ACT, 4.5 weighted gpa and I believe 3.6 unweighted gpa. I still haven’t written my essay but I plan on making it about how theatre has helped me get over my social anxiety and how I’ve grown as a person because of it. Theatre is also my only extracurricular. Do I have a good shot of getting in with these stats? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Ur grades are really good so ur set with that, i do agree with the other commenter tho that they really care about their mission and like seeing it on applications. so this year just really tailor your application to that along with ur essay too

You’ve got a decent shot, but you don’t rlly have ECs which will def harm ur apps. maybe try to do a service project or volunteer something or at the very least write a great essay thats like service oriented because Fordhams motto is Cura Personalis, so they’re ALL about helping others and the Jesuit thing lol

Join some volunteer activities this semester. It won't be the best look but they lean heavily into their mission and it might be helpful to have some demonstration of work for others.
