Class rank: 9/311 (I go to a very good public school)</p>

<p>EC
Currently working two jobs for the past year, Birthday Party host and a teacher at a daycare

<p>My AP English teacher who reviewed my common app essay asked for me to send it to her so she can use it for example in coming years so I know that was really good, and my ND specific essays were good as well.</p>

<p>I have two cousins that got their degrees in the 90s; I don't know if that means anything</p>

<p>Thanks in advance to anyone who comments!</p>

<p>Hi :slight_smile: so despite my username I wish I could change, ND is my first choice and I applied EA too! </p>

<p>I think you have a fair shot, but then again, so do a lot of people. Nothing huge stands out to make you different, but you are a solid application. Unfortunately the cousins that went there isn’t a factor. My Adcom said they are more sensitive to immediate family dynamics, otherwise everyone would know someone! Are you an URM or have any hooks? If not, it’s a crap shot honestly. ND admissions seems to be so arbitrary. Your GPA is great! Your test score is solid but honestly for EA it may be a little low. Nothing to worry about but with no hooks being more in the 75% end could make a small difference. </p>

<p>Best of luck! I haven’t started a thread, but could I PM you and ask your opinion on my chances?</p>

<p>I’m just a white female. The only really unique thing about me is that I have severe scoliosis which is in a part of an essay that I wrote.</p>
