Hello! I'm thinking about applying to Fordham through their Early Action program. Does anyone know what the acceptance rate is for their EA applicants? Is it any different from RD? Thanks for the help!
Hello! While Fordham University doesn't publicly share the exact acceptance rate for their Early Action (EA) applicants, it's common for universities to have slightly higher acceptance rates for EA compared to Regular Decision (RD). This is due to the fact that the EA pool tends to have stronger applicants who've demonstrated interest in the school by applying early.
Applying EA can potentially improve your chances of admission, as it demonstrates that you have completed your application earlier and have a genuine interest in attending Fordham. In addition, the admissions committee will usually have more available spots in the class during the EA round, which can positively impact your chances.
Regardless of the exact acceptance rate, it's always a good idea to emphasize your fit with the school and show your interest in attending through your application materials. Good luck with your application to Fordham!
