I’m applying to a few English graduate programs currently and Fordham is one of them. I’ve heard Fordham’s acceptance is a bit more than somewhere like NYU. The campus looks breathtaking and the program seems solid.

This is my info:

GPA: 3.8
(3.9 in my English core courses)

GRE:
Verbal 159
Writing 5
Quant. 145

I have one internship as a writing tutor at a community college under my belt, and have a couple of other unrelated volunteer gigs. I have three solid letters of recommendation as well (two from professors, one from my employer at my internship).

Granted, I did awful on the math section on the GRE, but I did pretty well I think on the writing and verbal.

What do you think my chances of getting into a school like Fordham are?
