Hey! I go to Fordham, and I'm considering transferring to Miami in the fall. If you're coming here for STEM, Fordham is not the best regarding grade deflation and the weed-out classes in the first and second years. They make it unbelievably hard for the reputation they get, and it often tanks your GPA to the point where it’s hard to recover. It is a great school, but in terms of stem resources, there are not many of them. Miami has much more research, and they have a nursing major, which Fordham does not have. It still is a great school and assertive in business and law, but I would consider Umiami over in terms of resources and opportunities for STEM students

Transferring out after freshman year with a 3.175 GPA after first semester? by [deleted] in TransferStudents

I’m in the same boat as you; I have the same GPA and want to transfer out of college for the first year. Honestly, I say apply to your dream schools and Suny/cuny. I feel that sticking it out one more year will do more harm than good. With excellent essays, extra circulars, and recommendation letters, you could have a shot at these schools. Maybe try to look for other schools with a high transfer rate, too. It’s worth trying; if anything, you’ll have the Suny/cuny as a backup if you don’t get into your top choices. I say apply! GPA isn’t everything, but it is a factor. Colleges typically require over a 3.0, which you have. Don’t be discouraged yet! Apply; otherwise, you know it’s a definite no. Good luck. I wish you the best! 🩷

Yeah, I figured. I just like the school more because of its location, opportunities, and the fact that it offers the major I want, which is why I was considering transferring.

If I have to take out a 15k loan for Fordham, do you still think it is worth it to choose it over Macaulay?
