Internship/work experience
Over the summer, I interned at a a plastic surgeon’s office in another country. Got a very enriching experience about hospitality and the health care profession, in which I hope to have a career (orthodontist).
I also taught english to middle schoolers while I was in another country this summer

Essays: common app is solid, supplement is great
Teacher Rec (2): both pretty good
Counselor Rec: absolutely the best

Currently a senior at a medium sized private catholic school (VERY rigorous)
Transferred to another school in a different state my sophomore year
Fluent in two languages
Lived in 2 countries, 3 states
Minority female (asian), upper middle class
I live literally 10 minutes away from campus, my mom is a professor at ND, dad is a visiting professor at ND
My school has a usually sends a good number of students to ND each year, so I’m thinking I have a pretty good chance.
Categorized as an international student because I am not a citizen, although I have gone to school in the US since 1st grade. (No green card yet, but soon)

Thanks!
Also: Would ND care more about GPA or standardized test scores?

I think with a 34 act, and a parent who’s a professor, you’re in pretty good shape… check if either of your parents have any friends in the admissions department, it could help you set up an interview that wouldn’t be offered otherwise. and especially if you moved they’d be able to look over a weak year at school.

Yeah I would think that you would be a good candidate, especially with your parents working there. What I’ve heard is that Notre Dame puts the most emphasis on class rank, grades, course rigor, and test scores in that order. But honestly I’m sure you’re fine!

Sorry, being an over represented minority and an international student really would hurt your chances. Get your green card as soon as possible and work on your test scores. Your extracurriculars are solid.
