Does anyone know if Fordham considers electives into GPA?

I am not sure what their rules are, but I can tell you what I observed from my daughter’s transcript. Her weighted GPA was just over a 4.0, her school does not send in UW. I know for a FACT that Fordham has 3.6 as her formal GPA from HS. This means they took out most of her electives and, of course, Physical Education, which were all As. They DO count language courses, both in your native tongue and foreign ones as well. I am guessing that the Ethics and Work/Tech classes would not count, but those two language ones would.

Fordham looks at the whole student, not just your grades, so don’t let that stop you from applying. They are trying to be more diverse, so coming from a S. American country is a big plus.
