What are my chances?!?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

Grades
3.5 GPA (some honors and AP classes)
ACT: 28 (projected)
NEW SAT: 1280 (projected)

EC:
DECA president, a few other clubs, Cross Country and Track, Church Youth Group, some charity work
I also run my own online jewelry business (legally a CEO!) and get invited to fashion week and cool events.

Additional Info:
I am a white girl from an upper class town/family. The average GPA to get into Fordham from my high school is 3.77.

How likely is it I can get into Fordham? I am going to write my college essay on my entrepreneurship endeavors- I am riding on that more than my grades.

So you’re on the low side of average for GPA and test scores for Fordham, so it’s probably going to come down to your essays, so yes, lean in hard on the jewelry business angle. Applying RD, I’d say you have a 50% shot. With a great essay, 60% or more. Good luck!
