well as far as the overall undergrad education goes, these two are dead even in rank (tied at 56th this year)

Those rankings don’t really measure the quality of undergraduate education. From 2007 to 2010, Fordham’s “rank” has gone from #84 to #56. Due to much more competitive admissions this year, it will likely fall to a smaller number this year. However, it’s not like it was a much worse place for education a couple years ago; rather, the student experience was likely very similar between 2007 and 2010. So using rankings to decide is misguided at best.
