<p>i have a question about the additional info section</p>
<p>i visited nd recently, and fell in love...it's definitely one of my top schools. i didn't know that november 1, so i didn't apply early. how else can i let nd know that??</p>
<p>i was thinking i'd write something about how much i loved it in the additional info session. harmless, or groveling?</p>
<p>i wrote stuff like that in the additional info section, but i don't know if i got in yet so that probably doesn't help you.</p>
<p>I think in the additional info section it would be better to convince ND of how much of a "match" you are. They don't want to just hear that you love the school and really want to go there. You have to convince them that you are right for the school.</p>
<p>I agree ^^^. Actually, someone I know left that blank because he couldn't think of anything he wanted to say, he applied RD, and he got in (and loves it there). So there's no formula.</p>
<p>ok i would disagree... i don't think the additional info section is for that at all... every1 loves ND its an amazing campus it's more for like extra information referring to ur app... </p>
<p>and sep092, i wouldn't worry if you didn't apply early... i emailed admissions and they said DON'T apply early unless ur above average for every category so the majority shouldn't apply early-- a lot of times its smarter not to cuz u can add more to ur app... so not applying early isn't going to hurt you at all in my opinion...</p>
<p>I called back in September for my D to see if it would be to her advantage to apply early. I was told to have her apply regular decision (her SATs are just average) as "she would be more competitive in that applicant pool." In other words, unless her test scores and GPA were fabulous, she was better off competing in the regular decision group.</p>
<p>sunshadow, would you mind giving those average SAT's or a range. My daughter emailed the same info and never got a reply because her rep was out of the office until Nov. 3 so decided to go early.</p>
<p>Well, all I know is the my D's SATs are less than average...1170 + 660w. She has some interesting hooks, stellar essays, recs, GPA, and outstanding athlete, but not a recruit.<br>
It's just those darn SAT scores that weighed her down, so she was told to go RD. They didn't give a range to me when I called.</p>
