<p>Other:
Recommendations should be solid and my essay will hopefully be able to capture the amount of ardor with which I love Notre Dame.</p>

<p>By the way, I was also wondering if you think I 'd be qualified to be a ND Scholar? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Sorry, I forgot just a couple things.</p>

<p>-I'm from Omaha, NE
-I've taken the most rigorous courses my school offers
-I've done 250+ hours of community service
-I've been in NHS for 2 years</p>

<p>Thanks Again</p>

<p>You look like a pretty good candidate, but you should know that the ND Scholar designation means essentially nothing.</p>

<p>Thanks for your comments dorian.</p>

5

<p>You get letters for academic stuff? Thats pretty cool.</p>

6

<p>For the essay, you don't just want to show your love for ND. How can you contribute to the ND community? And how will ND help you create a better world in general?</p>

<p>Cool, thanks for the tips guys.</p>
