Chance me?

Hi I am a girl from CT. Notre Dame is my absolute dream school. I did not apply EA because people convinced me that I would not get in, but now I regret not applying because I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t atleast try.

SAT: 1400 (I know this is way below their average)

GPA: 3.72 UW (will increase when 1st semester grades are released)

I take 3 AP classes this year, 1 last year, + many honors classes in the past. (My school does not offer many APs, I take more classes than the average student)

planning on majoring in Computer Science.

Many extracurricular, including: sports team captain, head of peer tutoring program, head of filming club, average amount of community service, camp counselor, avid hiker, I backpacked across 200 miles of the AT last summer (idk if that counts as an EC, but I’ll put it just in case).

Honors: Honor Roll freshmen year, High Honor Roll Sophomore, Junior, Senior (maybe). Special honors by school (Honors away of excellency)

Religion: Catholic
Race: White

Supplements + Recs: In my opinion they are great, but I dont think I could grade myself on them.

Focus on excellent uniques essays. Finish the semester strong. Contact your admissions counselor to have a dialogue and express how interested you are.

@steveo87 makes an important point. Dialogue with an admissions counselor is important. If ND truly is your top choice, let them know that. If you will enroll if accepted, let them know that as well. I think your test score and UW GPA will hold you back, but it is by no means impossible. Make sure to have a solid college list with safeties to fall back on. I was deferred in the REA round, and I will be certain to keep you in my prayers throughout these next three months. Good luck!!
