Hi,
I’m currently a senior at a small, private, catholic school in IL and I was wondering whether it would be better for me to apply to ND’s EA or RD. Here are some of my stats:
- Ranked 1 of 66 in my class
- Weighted GPA: 4.29
- UW GPA: Believe it's around 3.7
- 31 ACT
- I've taken 3/4 AP classes offered at my HS
- Member of NSHSS (National Society of High School Scholars)
- Illinois State Scholar
- Taken 3 college courses (Psychology, Speech, Music Appreciation)
- Member of several clubs
- 3 sport athlete, tennis captain
- 100+ hours of community service
- Brother is currently attending ND
Some people say that it’s only a good idea to apply EA if your’re a strong candidate, so I’m a little unsure because my ACT of a 31 and my UW GPA of around a 3.7 are a little below the average for ND. I’m afraid to get flat out denied if I apply EA. Would it be better for me to retake the ACT, improve my score, and apply RD?
Please help!
