Some interesting stats from this week’s RAM:

23,156 students have submitted applications for 2008-2009.

This is a 7% increase from last year.

Fordham is looking for students with SAT’s in the range of 1200 to 1330 and A or A- GPA.

Fordham experienced the 3rd largest growth in admissions among NYC universities, behind St John’s 27% increase and NYU’s 8.5% increase, but in front of Columbia’s 4% increase.

This increase is a national trend due to the baby-boomer generations’ children applying for college.

This spring the largest number of high school graduates in the history of the country will graduate - 3.32 million.

3,502 students were admitted early action to Fordham.

Of these 3,502 students, 104 students have already accepted admission.

CBA applicants have SAT scores 24 points higher than last year’s applicants

Fordham College applicants have SAT scores 12 points higher than last year.

In mid-April, a profile of accepted applicants will be completed and a more detailed view of the incoming class of 2012 will be available.
