The director of admissions at Fordham Law hates FDU. And he isn’t the only one. Prospective students from Touro did a lot better getting in to good law schools and masters programs than did FDU students with similar GPAs. I have a friend who had a 175 and a 4.0 GPA from FDU and did not get into Columbia or NYU and had to push Fordham to give him a small scholarship. FDU sounds great on paper but their track record is not as good as Touro’s. For most frum jews the level of academic standards is not as important as what you can do with the degree and based on what is admittedly somewhat anecdotal evidence it seems that FDU is lacking in that department.
