<p>Notre Dame's decisions this year have so far been crazy. I had a 1560 or a 2360 on the SAT with a 3.6 average and a my grandfather and father have both graduated. I do not see the flaw in my <strong><em>in application. Probably those gay priests have nothing better to do than *</em></strong> applicants over instead or ***ing themselves. Anyone else feel this way or am I goin nuts?</p>
<p>ND values class rank over test scores. I think your 3.6 GPA did you in.</p>
<p>seeing from your crude post, I'd say ND made the right decision in not letting you in!</p>
<p>he's just bitter... dont judge his character during this time</p>
<p>Im sorry bodyboarder89..... you are not alone... tons of qualified applicants were denied this year</p>
<p>it really is turning into the crapshoot.... and I think people are underrating the importance of the essay</p>
<p>I think the thing you need the most is a bit of luck</p>
<p>I agree on the GPA being the weakness you don't see. I think you should re-evaluate your post, regardless of how angry you may be. It is alright to be angry, but not to be vile. I myself was rejected by ND before transferring here as a sophomore and it taught me a lot about myself, hard work, and life. I pray that in the long-run this may be an experience which you can grow from and that makes you better.</p>
<p>chillin: What? Don't judge his character during this time? How is this kid when he's under pressure? When things don't go his way? I have read many posts from kids who didn't get in to their choice school and have never come across anything so disrespectful! God help me but I have no sympathy for someone posting such disgusting comments.</p>
<p>ahem. watch your mouth. if you dont have respect for our priests, which are essential to our school, perhaps you do not belong here.</p>
<p>You go, mominchicago! You are absolutely right...</p>
<p>Disappointment is understandable. That type of outburst, on the other hand, is just over the top. Period. </p>
<p>Think it might have something to do with the fact that, although the Internet may appear to be a giant locker room to some in the Facebook generation, it is, in fact, not. What might have been a bit more in place venting among a small group of close friends is completely inappropriate in this context.</p>
<p>it was inappropriate... but I'm not going to lash out him for saying what he thinks... even if it was rude</p>
<p>Edit: I missed his gay comment... That was pretty vile and unnecessary</p>
<p>I really understand your anger, trust me I think that some people that really should not have gotten in, got in, and others that deserved to get in, didn't...But remember that God has a plan for you and that maybe he is just testing your faith! Take this as a challenge to make new friends in new places and if you don't like it, work hard and transfer! I know it may not seem like the best thing to hear right now...but hey I was rejected too, so you are not in it alone! Pray hard and your faith will guide you and soon enough you will find the reason :)</p>
<p>Hey.. are any of you perfect? Have all of you always controlled your anger at the worst possible moments? I don't think so. I know i haven't. So let's leave bobyboarder89 alone. deal?</p>
