Be a top student and get good internship experience it is definitely doable. Being in city helps. You can definitely do it just need to be a little proactive. Lots of Fordham people on the street at IB’s
If you're actively considering the school (IB prospects aside), then I'd recommend applying early action assuming the application isn't a significant burden on your family at this time. It's not restrictive, but early action acceptance rates are typically higher and applying EA increases your chances of a scholarship. You don't have to actually go, but if you are going to apply, apply early action at every school that you can.
Definitely solid for a non-target. If you get into Finance Scholars program (which is very easy... 3.5 GPA required after 3rd semester), it will help you a ton. Great placement to BBs (2-3 for each -- 4 kids in my class going to GS IBD alone). Not good at all for EBs, only one kid got a top EB.
Lol of those 4 kids how many are non-diversity? If you’re going to provide advice, at least supply it with the context it deserves.
I go to Fordham , many of Fordham hires I would say is diversity , only few making it without, being diversity. People need to disclose that , the person who made it to EB got in through diversity program .
No chance 2-3 for each BB. Barclays is the only one that might be consistently true. If you’re non diversity, you’d have to be in top 1% and do semester IB internships to have a shot at top bank.
^^ some truth do it , I didn’t have best gpa 3.0-3.5, had late start but networked hard ,( nom diversity ) , you don’t have to be top 1 percent to make it , you just have to netowkr an be commuted to the grind
It’s a non target but has decent placement. However be aware that the majority of students that place into BB IB from Fordham are diversity. Being in NYC was really fun though.
If you don’t get a full ride then I’d recommend Baruch. Very comparable placement
I graduated there not too long ago. Pretty good placement tbh. Not as nice as it was from 2012-2015 when the school being rebranded was hot. I know a substantial amount of kids that got into IB or moved into it within a year of graduation. Shouldn't be too hard especially in this current market tho. Time will tell how the Fordham boys fare.If you're a girl who likes IB going to Fordham might as well be going Wharton as long as you keep a 3.5+ gpa. Placement shouldn’t be hard at all.
Also they give out lots of money, offered me close to full ride with 4.67 GPA out of HS
i replied above but current senior, here at fordham. I didnt have the most superb gpa but i put myself out there and got into a BB, you have to network! the only way to get into fordham is through networking. Most of the kids who get into IB from Fordham are through diversity program, only a handful get without diversity. The earlier you start networking the more likely you are gonna end up in a BB. So just to sum in up, yes IB is very possible from fordham, if you are willing to grind and network
Her dad is a well-regarded restructuring lawyer and she got that job through diversity recruiting. To say Fordham played any role in her success is laughable.
