Ok, how did you get into harvard? You say people with better credentials than yours didnt get to Fordham, and you are not optimistic about NYU. Seriously, how did that happen?Also, why in God's name didnt you apply to columbia. At any rate - go to harvard. The name really matters
Fordham is notorious for not giving out much money, so I wouldn't count on a scholarship if I were you, especially if your numbers are not above their 75%iles. Even though Fordham is in NYC, you have to be in top of your class to get a well-paying job because you'll be competing with grads from NYU, Columbia, and the rest of T14 (Harvard included) for a spot, and Harvard grads will have a much easier time regardless of their class rank because of Harvard's reputation, ranking, and prestige.
