Also I have legacy at Notre Dame (Dad and Grandfather)

I am applying into each schools business school and have econ in arts & letters as secondary choice. For ND worked my butt off on the essays if that means something too :slight_smile:

You have a good chance at all of them. Being a legacy should help you get into Notre Dame. I would be surprised if you did not get in. NYU Stern might be a little hard to get in, given its acceptance rate.

Can you go to my chance me thread and chance me too? I would really appreciate it.

I appreciate it! I feel better now about them. I am aware of how daunting Stern is so do you think its possible they accept me into arts and sciences thanks! And I will check yours out! @bluedevil8130

You are definitely getting into Tech

Yes, NYU A&S is easier to get into. I know someone that got in who was about top 20% of their class with nothing too special. I am also going to be looking to apply to Stern and Mendoza next year! Great schools!

You should be wary of Notre Dame though. Being a legacy will definitely help you, but it has gotten harder to get in. The average ACT is 33 now, but I think you still have a good chance.

Yeah Notre Dame is my top choice and also the one that scares me the most. Funny how that works out @bluedevil8130

Im thinking that is probable @littleblackhat

I think that you have a great chance at all of the schools you mentioned except for Notre Dame. You have good stats and an excellent GPA, as well as a good ACT. While legacy will certainly help for Notre Dame, I am not sure how this factors into admission and don’t know if it will grant you acceptance. That said, I still think you have a good chance, and all of the other schools are more than likely.

Also, just a heads up that neither Notre Dame or NYU superscore the ACT. I don’t think this will affect you much, but it is something I had to point out.

really? I’m not 100% on ND but on Princeton Review it says NYU superscores. @cc8912 I love the feedback though!

I would say your ACT does not help for ND. It does help that you are double legacy. What APs have you taken?

World History, Psych, English Language, Calc AB, Human Geo, Stats, Govt @littleblackhat

Cool cool, I would say it does not help you haven’t done AP Chem Physics or Bio but thats not a bad lineup. I have personally Econ, US history, Chem, Physics C mechanics, Lang, Stat, Calc AB, and US gov

I was originally signed up for an AP science, however that’s not my strong suit and it would probably look better if I got an A in regular Chem than a C in AP lol. That’s pretty strong right there. What schools? @littleblackhat

All UC schools except Merced and riverside, Mich, Gtech, BC, Vandy, UT Austin, U of I enginering(accepted, wisconsin engineering(accepted), virginia tech(my best friend goes there he wanted me to apply)

@crunge17

I got into Wisconsin too!

That’s a good looking list. Good luck! @littleblackhat
