<p>could be problematic, gpa a concern</p>

<p>how could a 4.3 gpa be a concern. I saw from another post that you said that someone was a bit lacking in leadership roles when they had more than most listed. This forum should be constructive not stupid.</p>

<p>typical non legacy ND admit would have >33 ACT, 3.9 uw gpa in core courses, advanced math, with taking calculus in senior year, and be in the top 3 to 4%, but depending where you are from, ND really like geographical diversity (probably the big reason I got in years ago)</p>

<p>saw on your other posts, that your son is a legacy, that helps a lot, I am sure you must know that,</p>

<p>Well, 3.9 UW gpa does seem a little low, but the high weighted gpa means you must have taken a lot of rigorous classes. The test scores look fine - the SAT I score looks better than the ACT. ECs look good - you probably have a good shot.</p>
