Doodie:

Fordham’s yield has been problematic for a long time and they are working on fixing that as they become more selective in admissions. But largely its because uber stats kids use Fordham as a safety for the Ivy League and uber elite LAC’s like Swarthmore and Williams and Middlebury etc. Some kids figure out its not affordable for their family and choose a less expensive school, lower ranking school that gave them more money etc.

But its NOT because its a school they are rejecting because of academics or other issues.

Fordham recruits very very smart kids. I can assure you. It will shock you how many have SAT’s north of 1450 and even 1500. You will be very challenged at Fordham. Its an academic school and the workload is heavy.

Come visit and see for yourself.
