What are my chances of getting into Notre Dame? (RD) / NYU

Currently attending an international school (No US citizenship)

  • I’m planning to apply for financial aid for ND and Notre Dame is need-based (they take this into consideration when reviewing my apps so its probably more competitive compared to US citizens or people applying without asking for financial aid)

STATS:

  • GPA (weighted) 4.2 average for freshman-junior year, probably higher if senior year is included (b/c senior year weighted GPA is 4.6)
  • SAT 1540 (EBRW 760, Math 780)
  • SAT 2 Math2C 780
  • AP Macro / Human Geo (5), AP Biology / Cal AB (4), Currently taking AP Micro/Literature/Psychology in senior year
  • Debate club president
  • Math club president (Mu Alpha Theta)
  • Spanish club president + founder
  • Model United Nations (attended around 7-8 conferences, also member of school MUN club)
  • 4 yrs varsity volleyball + captain in senior year
  • 4 years varsity girls soccer
  • Participation in global leadership forum
  • Never missed principals list every semester in high school (given to grades 93+ students)
  • Job experience teaching kids at an English language academy
  • teacher/counselor recs: decent-good
  • personal/supplemental essay: 8…? not really sure how to rate my own essay
  • ethnicity: asian
  • school type: small private international school

@mzyvip Your profile is impressive and absolutely in the range of other successful international Notre Dame applicants. One important aspect will be your expression of “why Notre Dame?” throughout your application. With these stats you could apply anywhere and Notre Dame will presumably want to make sure that your application is serious and that there is a higher probability than not that you will actually be attending, if admitted into their 2019/20 undergraduate class. Best of luck and success!
