<p>you seem like a very strong applicant, you have a good chance of getting in but notre dame of course is extremely competitive.</p>

<p>haha yes it seems lucky for anyone to get in these days. thanks for your input though!</p>

<p>You are definitely a ‘competitor’ for a spot at Notre Dame… meaning, yes I think that you will get in. Assuming your recommendations/essay are good :).</p>

<p>Also, random but how did you get these?
Creative Communication “Young Poet Award” (10th Grade)
Creative Communication “Young Writer Award” (10th Grade)</p>

<p>I’ve submitted stuff to them and gotten it into their book, but I haven’t actually won an award…</p>

<p>thank you very much :slight_smile: to be honest i am not sure. maybe i mislabeled it as an “award” but i can assure you it was not intentional. we are definitely talking about the same program, but i know they sent me some document congratulating me for my work being chosen.</p>

<p>^^ haha sorry for any confusion. for some reason i have two profiles on CC. i am the original poster.</p>

<p>You definitely are in the range, but I’m curious of the topics your wrote your essays on.</p>

<p>You seem like a very strong applicant! I don’t know a whole lot about Notre Dame, but I’d say those stats are pretty good anywhere (except the top ivies)
What’s good is that you are able to incorporate a lot of sports with lots of volunteering and receiving writing awards!</p>

<p>thank you very much! i wrote my big essay on my experience with high school football. i understand this is pretty generic and boring, but i think i put an interesting twist on it. haha and i thought it might be a good choice seeing as the admissions rep for my area played Notre Dame football… the notre dame supplement essays were all required 150 words or less. historically i’ve considered myself to have a pretty strong use of language so hopefully they are good!</p>

<p>you definitely look very competitive. Good Luck!</p>

<p>in my opinion, you have a great shot at getting in. good luck</p>

<p>White Catholic male with a 32 ACT, 3.78UW GPA (from a clearly rigorours HS) and a solid list of EC’s is a pretty straigtforward match for Notre Dame. I would not be sweating it in your position, but instead would be learning the fight song (which I am sure you already know).</p>

<p>ahhh thank you guys so much. ND is by all means my dream school and i’ve seriously been going crazy worrying about it.</p>

<p>please keep up the help! leave your link and i will chance back! :)</p>

<p>bump bump bump!</p>

<p>only about one more week of waiting!!</p>
