Hello! I was wondering if some people would be willing to chance me. By the way, I apologize in advance for all the info, but I wanted to make sure I covered all my bases.
I’m an Asian Male from Malaysia. I’m also a Catholic, not sure whether that would boost my chances or not. I studied in a school which does not provide AP or IB, just electives.

CommonApp Essay: I think I overdid it! I talked about how I used to represent my school in debates, tennis, and Abacus, but soon lost it all when I moved to a school that did not provide any of this. Instead of being sad, I did my best and finally managed to start up new stuff in the school, such as the club system, getting friendly matches with other schools over, and many more!
U Notre Dame Prompt!
Why ND? I rambled mostly about religion. I showed that currently, I’m active at church, serving Mass as an Altar Server daily, waking up at 6am each day. I also sing in the choir. I rejoiced that UNotre Dame is active in its religious rites. I continued on, mentioning how I love the dorm life here, comparing it to “Harry Potter’s Sorting Hat”, that mixes us around with people from diverse cultures and interest, but know that we’ll fit in together well.
For my Questions, I chose “What’s your favorite Question and why”. I answered “Which comes first, the chicken or the egg”, followed by why. The other question I chose was about my recent FB post, which was a thank you note to all my students and fellow graduates. I mentioned how I don’t usually post on social medias, but I was so thankful and grateful to them that I want everyone to know!
Go Irish!
