Chances at Notre Dame EA?

<p>I was wondering what my chances are of getting into Notre Dame Early Action. I recently was deferred from Dartmouth and if I get into ND, it would save me a ton of time because I wouldn't have to finish some safety school apps and stuff. What do you think?</p>

<p>Your chnaces are good.</p>

<p>Do you think I will mostly likely get deferred like I did from Dartmouth? My mom was telling me that getting in EA to Notre Dame is just as hard if not harder to get into than ED @ Dartmouth. Is this true??</p>

<p>Nope...EA at UND is a bit easier than Dartmouth. I wouldn't second guess the adcoms, as each school looks for different things. That you got defered by Dartmouth means that you were qualified for the school. Usually, Darthmouth tends to admit or deny in larger numbers than defer.</p>

<p>UND is easier to get into, and they look for different characteristics than Dart. So, I would caution against making such a judgement.</p>
