Hey everyone, sorry for reposting somewhat of a similar question. In my previous post I explained how I was accepted at St Johns University, but now want to go to Fordham but missed the transfer application deadline. In your opinion, do you feel that a student graduating from Fordham College of Liberal Studies (which according to employees in that office, is the same Fordham degree recieved by all students), and earning the degree, will this degree be favored more or looked better upon than a degree granted by St Johns University (queens campus, for a traditional day student)? The reason im asking is because I am normally a traditional student, so for me to just leap into a Liberal Studies program is different than what im used to. Also, the only reason I am skeptical of the FCLS program is because the advisor told me that some students in the FCLS program dont even have to reach a minimum GPA coming out of high school… which is wierd because they look for at least a 3.0 from transfer students. On the other hand when I applied to St Johns, you NEED to have graduated from high school, have college credit, etc… Im just nervous because I don’t want to sacrifice one opportunity for a lesser one. Thank you for your help guys, I appreciate it.
