<p>ND is a low reach.</p>

<p>What’s your backup plan?</p>

3

<p>My backup is University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.</p>

<p>I would say since they don’t superscore, if you’re highest composite is 30 then it’s a medium reach at the least. They have an incredibly high average ACT. Your ECs are good, but no real big hooks. I would highly suggest looking for some matches and safeties as well. Notre Dame is a crapshoot even if you meet their average ACT just because they’re so selective. Hope that helps. Not the best news, but it’s worse to think you will no matter what get in and then get rejected. Look for 2-3 matches and 2-3 safeties. You can get some more reaches as well, unless you’re not willing to pay that much.
Chance me maybe?

<p>Did u apply for EA? Then it might be possible, I think UND is not really selective</p>

<p>I went to a Notre Dame presentation about the school and the counselor told us that EA gives you no benefit other than hearing your results earlier and it will actually be tougher to get in since the best applicants apply early.</p>

<p>They have the most selective pool for EA at ND. More than likely you will hear a “deferred” by Dec. 20, and join the general pool of candidates for March notification. A composite 30 on the ACT would maybe get you in if you are a legacy, I’ve known of students getting in with an ACT as low as 27 as a legacy kid. If you are a first time Domer, you need to be in the 33 - 35 range to get in unfortunately.</p>

<p>what aps/ibs have you taken? ecs arent very strong since it doesnt seem that many of them were started freshman year. act and gpa are good as long as you had a rigorous course load. i think you have a good chance but with your weaker ecs, i would say medium-highish reach on scale of hardness to get into, i would say 7.6/10. good luck though. def have a possibility, but look into some matches/safeties!! chance back please? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1427201-cornell-chances-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1427201-cornell-chances-2.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
