Hey ya’ll.

So heres my stats. I know they’re not competitive by any means compared to some of you guys here but I am Native American and I am registered with a federally recognized tribe so I want to know my chances, realistically. I’m really debating on whether or not to apply ERA or RD and with the ERA deadline right around the corner I’m stressing and I’ve heard applying ERA is risky.

Hmm, tough call. Have any kids from your school gone to ND? Does your school have Naviance? I typically would suggest you apply RD, but with your background I’m leaning toward applying EA. Make sure you put a lot of thought into your essays. Good luck!

The normal feedback is for you to ask your regional admissions representative. In your case, it might be better to contact and ask Monica Newland, head of Native American recruitment. I think REA is fine for you but my opinions don’t count compared to hers.

I think regular decision and retake the ACT, or SAT. Prepare well. But ask your rep as @Manegtron says. That is your best source rather than us randos here on CC.
