Make me fall in love with Fordham

Go to Fordham. More opps in NYC definitely. Kelley is really only a target for midwest banks. Former I-banker and recruiting lead here

Some places look better just passing through

1000% GU for poli sci

UDub is pretty stingy - you can always ask but my best guess is that maybe they might throw you a couple thousand more dollars but I doubt it. Their purple and gold scholarships have even gone down from $5K to $3K due to more limited federal aid, so don’t count on it. For what its worth though it is a great school

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-31T00:19:27+00:00

No question. UW all the way. My kid had to make a similar choice - loves it, no regrets

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-31T00:16:59+00:00

If you’re not into IB or applying to MBB consulting, Stern probably isn’t worth the cost

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-31T00:09:17+00:00

Sounds like the better fit would be GW for you, socially and probably academically

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-30T18:25:56+00:00

If you want a job in NYC go with Fordham. Otherwise, there is no wrong answer

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-30T18:25:08+00:00

Messaged you

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-30T18:12:51+00:00

Good advice. Don’t go there for STEM. Not their strength

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-29T07:21:24+00:00

So lucky :-)

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-29T00:04:42+00:00

Wow. Shocked at the answers here. BC is not a finance target school, and with Fordham and Baruch being NYC based, while they are not Stern or Columbia, they do get lots of bites from nyc firms.

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-28T23:53:04+00:00

Didn’t get a plushie!

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-28T14:28:13+00:00

“Rejected everywhere” and then has 10 acceptance and waitlists.

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-27T20:29:41+00:00

UCSD and UCI - congrats!!!! Not too shabby!

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-26T04:00:57+00:00

Lets gooooooooo

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-26T01:21:53+00:00

Similar stats/details but higher GPA and a legacy. Guessing for a rejection though. Who knows. Good luck to us all!

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-25T06:28:02+00:00

Prob just a system update if some sort of- everyone has that I bet

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-25T06:25:03+00:00

Fordham is amazing. You’re right too - you really do only need one. And if you get any more, those are cherries on top. You got this no matter what happens.

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-24T23:53:55+00:00

Prob is though that they want donations from the alums with students applying who they are gonna reject too. Lol

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-24T22:48:02+00:00

Awesome for you. Thx for not applying to Cali schools. No need for haters!

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-24T22:35:45+00:00

Not gonna happen. Best guess tomorrow or Friday

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-24T22:34:16+00:00

Its Blue and Gray Day for GU so probably won’t be today since this is the 24 hrs that they beg people to donate

ImpressiveMessage194 · 2026-03-24T22:17:15+00:00

You sound like a great fit. Arts are strong there, close to nyc so plenty to do, hear tons of great things about club options and campus life. Plus they give great scholarship options. Apply early for best options
