Okay, to clarify…my D is at Fordham…her AP classes DID help her with her standing, she was a sophmore by the second semester of her freshman year.

She was not assigned classes, she was given options in different areas, for instance, she needed to take an art class and opted for Jazz History or Art History. She got Jazz. She was given an option for her religion class, her history class etc.

As for dorms, when she put in her application for her second year, she was seen as already a sophmore, so she got a bit of a bump up.

So, yes, the core is stringent, but freshman don’t take all the same classes, they all will take an english class for example, but they will have a bit of a choice for which one.

She hates science, so took a computer science class, while her roommate took biology.

So you can start framing your program within the core.

THere is most definately some choice when it comes to classes for freshman, not as much as some may like, but options are there, just be sure and send in your requests asap when you get the paperwork!!
