<p>I think you’re set. Lots of leadership, scores and GPA are great, etc etc. I’m assuming your essays are at least decent since you got an 11 on ACT W. If you get rejected EA I think we all will.</p>

<p>Everything on your application is great! I think you’ll get in :slight_smile: Your leadership positions in your ECs are impressive.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the positive responses! My concerns right now are 1) I’m not a legacy… and 2) I put down that I will be applying for financial aid, would ND take someone with similar stats over me that can pay in full for college?</p>

<p>Also… I signed up for Calc BC senior year but it didn’t fit in my schedule so on my transcript it shows that I have no math class senior year</p>

<p>I think most of these concerns are popping up because the decisions are being mailed so freaking soon that I’m starting to freak out hahah</p>

<p>Don’t worry about not being a legacy…that’s not going to make any difference. Your application looks great. Also, ND will NOT consider the financial aid thing. So don’t worry about that either. Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>^ I think your statement that not being a legacy won’t make a difference might be misleading. For the OP probably wont make a difference as the resume looks very strong on its own. Make no mistake about it, though. ND actively seeks a high (25) percentage of legacies in each class and being a legacy is considered an important part of an application.</p>

<p>@ejcclc To clarify, I was talking about this individual’s application, not overall admission. I should have been more specific. You are absolutely correct.</p>
