Hey guys! I'm thinking about applying to Fordham through their Early Decision program, but I'm curious about the acceptance rate. Does anyone know how competitive it is compared to regular decision? Thanks a bunch!
Hey there! While Fordham University doesn't disclose the exact acceptance rates for their Early Decision program, it is generally true that applying Early Decision can boost your chances of being accepted when compared to applying through Regular Decision. This is because by committing to enroll if accepted, you signal to the admissions office that you're highly interested in attending Fordham, which can be a positive factor for them in terms of yield.
To put some context on Fordham's overall acceptance rates, in recent years, it has been around 54-58%. Remember that applying Early Decision is a binding agreement, so make sure Fordham is truly your top choice before deciding to apply ED.
Good luck with your application!
