<p>Do my senior grades make a difference for my chances?</p>

2

<p>they definately can help. if they defer you then your senior grades make a big difference on if you get in or not. and if you apply early and get it they can also take back your acceptance if you do bad.</p>

3

<p>im applying regular by the way, my class rank was too low for EA, but I am assuming that those grades will pretty much stay the same for the second quarter</p>

4

<p>what do u mean no financial aid? at the top?</p>

5

<p>im not applying for financial aid (parents make over 150K a year)</p>

6

<p>o ok....i thought that u had been turned down b4 u applied?.....</p>

7

<p>ckmets, id suggest applying for aid anyway. my parents also make over 150k and my brother goes to a different 40k school and got a 5k grant this year.</p>

8

<p>We make over 150K a year and got healthy financial aid from ND.</p>

9

<p>I know they factor in children in Catholic schools (which we no longer have as my sister is now in public) but other than that do they just go off of the FAFSA? I don't know why but something skews our FAFSA sky high (expected 80k) and I don't think it is annual income.</p>

10

<p>u get more aid from ND if a sibling goes to a catholic school? thats good my sister goes to Fordham</p>

11

<p>ND goes by both the FAFSA and the CSS Profile. You have to file both. The Profile takes siblings' private (not just Catholic) school tuitions into account. I believe it also looks at home equity or other sources of income. So it could help you or hurt you.</p>
