GPA expectations for Fordham?

Planning to apply to Fordham next year, but I'm unsure about what GPA they're expecting. Does anyone know what average GPA they accept? Quite curious and slightly anxious about my current situation.

Although the exact GPA statistics can vary from year to year, typically the average unweighted GPA of accepted students at Fordham is around 3.69. However, keep in mind this is just the average - plenty of students with lower GPAs are accepted as well.

Also, it's important to remember that colleges like Fordham don't just look at your GPA in isolation. They consider it in the context of your class rigor (how hard your classes were), your upward grade trend (improving grades over time can be seen favorably), and your overall school profile. Lastly, Fordham, like many universities, uses a holistic review process for applications. This means they're also taking into account your essays, test scores. extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and other elements of your application.

So while your GPA is definitely an important component of your academic profile, it's not the single deciding factor. Continue to work hard and focus on those other areas of your application to make yourself a strong candidate. If your GPA is slightly below the average, don't let that deter you from applying, especially if Fordham is a school that genuinely interests you.
