What is the Fordham application checklist for first-year applicants?
I’m a high school junior starting to plan my college applications, and Fordham is one of the schools I’m looking at. I want to make sure I understand the main pieces of the application so I can stay organized and not miss anything important.
I’m not asking about exact deadlines, just the standard checklist of what first-year applicants usually need to submit.

For first-year applicants to Fordham, the standard checklist is usually:
A completed Common Application, including Fordham-specific questions. Fordham accepts the Common App for undergraduate first-year admission.
Your high school transcript. Fordham will look at your coursework, grades, and overall academic record.
A school report and counselor recommendation. This is typically submitted through your high school counselor.
The personal essay from the Common App.
Application fee or fee waiver request.
If applicable, English proficiency testing for international applicants, such as TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test.
If you are applying to programs with special talent components, there may be extra materials. For example, certain programs can require auditions, portfolios, or interviews.
Usually, you handle the Common App, essay, fee, and optional test scores, while your school sends the transcript, school report, and recommendations.
