Getting emails from Fordham - FAKE or REAL?

It’s just the first sentence. “I’ll be so pleased when you apply to Fordham…” The rest is fine and very professional but there is no way a native english speaking PhD Dean of Admissions would start off like that. They would say something like “We’re delighted to learn of your interest in Fordham and hope you will consider applying” Or “You"re the type of student we are looking for” or something along those lines.
