Hi, I’m new here! I haven’t seen any new threads for the 2020 application, so feel free to discuss, ask questions, and just chat here… good luck!!
Hello, I have been coming back to this thread for a few weeks, just to see what people have to say, and have not seen any new activity, so I’ll try to the get the ball rolling! What academic program are you applying for?
Hi lads, anyone else applying for global issues? Good luck to everyone with their applications!
I’m applying for the environment, with global issues as my second choice. Does anyone know if the three seminars are split evenly?
I’m also applying for environment. I’m not sure if they are split evenly. I would also like to know which program is the most competitive. Good luck to everyone!
I’m applying for environment too. Does anyone know if the teacher’s recommendation forms have to be sent in separately to our application forms?
You put in the teacher’s contact information in the application and an email gets sent to them with a link to fill out the recommendation, there’s like a survey with it. The teacher submits it and it automatically gets linked to the application. How are your essays going? I finished mine but keep getting less and less confident about the quality of them lol.
Me too haha @oliveeuh . Especially with the second essay- I took more of a creative writing approach and idk if that was a good choice
Which prompt did you choose? @meian7
I chose the third one. I’m definitely more happy with my second essay than the first.
@oliveeuh - I can’t seem to find the essay prompts, but I chose to write about a piece of technology. Which environmental issue did you choose for the 1st essay?
So did I! I chose agricultural sustainability as my environmental issue, what about you?
I simply chose climate change because it tied in to my activities the best lol
Also applied Environmental. Wondering if that is the most popular. What are everyone’s stats? I have only a few AP’s from last year, but 3 this year. 4.3 GPA and 1570 SAT. Decent ECs and relevant service experience (volunteered and led service trip in community impacted by climate change). Also took a risk with my essay, hope it doesn’t backfire.
Anyone attend summer scholars last year? Wondering if that is a help or a hinderance. Son applied for leadership this year. Not sure which tracks. 3.95, all the APs offered etc. and really good STEM and service. 35 ACT.
Does anyone know when we get decisions?
@meian7 mid March. The long wait is nearly over!
Does anyone know how much emphasis is placed on SAT/ACT scores as part of the application process? The eligibility requirements state the mid-range SAT score is 1300-1500, but what if you are slightly below?
Nope, they said later this week when I called them so they should be coming soon. If I were to guess, though, I’d say this Friday bc that’s when the Notre Dame undergrad decisions are released (at 6:42 pm ET).
