His father, a Fordham alum, appealed the rejection, met with an Admissions Officer and was told that the D was the reason that he was not accepted. I should note that in addition to his father, he had an older sister who was a successful Fordham student at the time. And he was mixed racial when that was considered a positive. And he graduated from a Catholic High School in the Bronx, which would normally be seen as a positive by a college like Fordham.
It’s not accurate to generalize from a single incident and I won’t. They may have changed their policies. It’s just a cautionary tale.
