You wont get scholarships with your gpa and SAT score. Sorry. Not from Fordham or any other highly selective college. Maybe a private scholarship, but that means you have to apply for them and write a bunch of essays. So get cracking. Financial aid is another matter and if you complete the FAFSA and send it to Fordham, they will likely give you loans and some grant money. But dont expect them to foot the bill for you. So you BETTER get a bunch of other safety schools in line and compare, because at the end of the day, it often comes down to what you can afford. Fordham is an awesome school, but its not cheap. Just trying to be realistic.

Chances? You are on the bubble by your raw scores. Being a minority asian may help. Apply early admission so you get a response in December and you have time to scramble if you dont get in.

I STRONGLY recommend you look seriously at JMU and Virginia Tech in Virginia.

Good luck.
