Transfer Students

<p>I'm a freshman at a top 100 LAC. I'm wondering what chances I have at a top 40 university, really want to go to Notre Dame. Anyway, here are my stats: </p>

<p>Me:
- black male
- Catholic
- Michigan resident</p>

<p>High school:
-3.7 gpa
- captain of both basketball and soccer
- lots of volunteer service
- low ACT score, just took it once and got a 21(should I retake it)</p>

<p>College stats:
- 3.4 gpa
- volunteer at public school every week to mentor
- College republicans
- IM basketball
- IM football
- IM soccer
- I also worked out of with the basketball team for about two months before getting cut.</p>

<p>yeah you should be good...they have a decent acceptance rate, and with high HS and a nice college GPA, you should be good</p>

<p>thanks.... </p>

<p>I'm expecting a 3.4, I still have another semester for that to go up or down, but assuming it stays there what top 40 schools would I have a good shot at?</p>

<p>well, not Ivies, and maybe not some of the top publics, but anything in the upper 20s on...you never know, so apply wherever you would want to attend</p>

<p>I went into detail on this on the ND board but you can't just look at the GPA like you can for a lot of other schools with Notre Dame. Notre Dame requires certain classes and only accepts transfers into certain majors which complicates things. Since I know it is confusing, I put a website together which has been approved by over 20 Notre Dame transfers, including myself :). It is at <a href="http://www.nd.edu/%7Emnadorff/transfer%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.nd.edu/~mnadorff/transfer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>I just thought I would post over here to let you know that ND is a bit different. I will try to hang over here a bit more but usually I relegate myself to the ND board.</p>
