bump! =) pleeeeeeease?

GPA is good, SATs are just a little bit low for Fordham (fine for Pace), ECs are a little light in the volunteering/leadership department.

Fordham--likely waitlist, possible acceptance, unlikely to be rejected outright
Pace--Match

Good luck.

Try to improve in the areas I mentioned above to increase your odds of acceptance at Fordham.

Also, consider applying to NYU to their musical performance school (Tisch)
