Student selectivity is only one way to measure the quality of an institution. Perhaps among the PL schools (a select group to begin with), the undergraduate admissions standards are generally higher at schools other than Fordham. But Fordham's standards are still pretty high, and would probably be higher if the school were located in a more desireable area. Let me suggest another measure of quality where Fordham ranks highest. The Gorman Report periodically ranks institutional quality from the perspective of resources: the quality of faculty, the quality of academic resources (library, computer facilities, etc.). Among the PL schools, Fordham has consistently ranked the highest in this report. In the end, I think the responders to the original post are right: Fordham is a great fit for the PL, and is an asset for the league -- and vice versa.
