I want ND more than anything

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Notre Dame

<p>I would give all of my Christmas gifts and anything else I own to be able to attend ND next year. It is my dream of dreams and listening to everyone admitted EA makes me wish that I had applied EA. Instead, I have to wait until April to find out my decision, it is always on my mind. If admitted I would attend Notre Dame without a doubt, I love the school and everything about it. I really don't know how great my chances are, but if I put effort into any application it was my Notre Dame app. If anyone who has been admitted/deferred/rejected with similar stats please reply to this I'd appreciate it. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>White Male, Illinois no legacy
SAT: 1470 (780m 690v)
GPA: 3.89w (will be near a 4.0 after this semester, 4.66 GPA this semester)
Top 5% of my class
Mission trip to Guatemala this summer (2 weeks, it's what my essay was on)
Senior Class Vice President
Student Ambassador
Peer Mediator
Mathletes (oralist)
Varsity Track... lots more</p>

<p>Illinois state scholar, national merit commended, IHSA all academic conference yada yada.</p>

<p>I'm letting myself get too anxious about this, April is so far off, I wish I had attempted to apply EA. My Aunt knows some guys who have graduated from ND and she may have them call and reccomend me... I have met them before. Do you think that this would help? Thanks for your time everyone</p>

<p>Ohh, toshima, I am so sorry. How is your d doing? Has she applied anywhere else yet? Or are her app's for other schools ready to go? Your d and my d are very similar in stats. My d was also a NM commended scholar, state finalist in Academic Superbowl, first in state in piano music contest, the overseas experience, community service, etc. one is admitted and one isn't- I shake my head and wonder why. My thoughts are with you guys.</p>
