<p>Hi, I'm absolutely in LOVE with Notre Dame. It is definitely my first choice when it comes to colleges. I've been wanting to attend the summer scholars program for years and this is the first year I qualify to do so.(I'm a sophmore) My first choice is the Entrepreneurship program. (Law and Psychology are my second and third choices) Could anyone share their experiences with the program with any of the tracks? I want to learn more about it but there isn't a whole lot of information on the website. Also, how selective is it and do I have a good chance of getting in?</p>

PSAT: 192- 60(Reading) 65(Math) 67(Writing Skills) (98th percentile in the nation)
Extracurriculars: Editor of School Newspaper, Involved in my Catholic Church, On 4 club boards, 3 Honors Socities (Beta, Math, and Spanish) , Varsity Tennis(Won a letter as a freshman), Compete on the Math Team, Choir, JV Volleyball<br>

<p>Any information is greatly appreciated! I am really nervous about getting into this program. And anyone else who is applying this year let me know!!!</p>

<p>Hi there! I also applied for this years’s program and am awaiting my decision letter. Do you know if you have gotten in yet?</p>

3

<p>Not yet! Letters were supposed to be sent out yesterday right? Also, I live in Florida so it would probably take a while to get here. Good luck!</p>

4

<p>Have you seen any changes in your online account? Is there supposed to be a place to submit forms?</p>

5

<p>I am waiting for a letter too. I have not noticed any changes to my online account as of yet.</p>

6

<p>I have not gotten my letter yet, but there is now a place to submit forms when I open my application.</p>

7

<p>I have a submit forms option on my online account too!</p>

8

<p>Is the online account the same as the application account ?</p>

9

<p>yes</p>

10

<p>It’s at the bottom of the page</p>

11

<p>thank you.</p>

12

<p>Have you received your letter yet?</p>

13

<p>I have not. Have you ? I would imagine mine would be a rejection letter since my account has not updated.</p>

14

<p>Do you know what the acceptance rate is?</p>

15

<p>My letter still hasn’t come but I live in Florida so it makes sense, but my account has the submit confirmation button. I heard the acceptance rate was about 40% but I’m not sure. </p>

16

<p>I got the confirmation button too and am waiting for the letter. Do we have past ND Summer Scholars here? I’d like to hear about their experiences. Or does anyone know what the program is like? </p>

17

<p>I’ve looked for other posts that share peoples’ past experiences, but I can’t find any.</p>

<p>Hey guys! I had a confirmation post on my page as well, and I am a returning summer scholar, but last year I didn’t get the confirmation form until a while after my letter came out, so don’t sweat it too much yet. Like axlintz said, don’t stress. It was one of the best experiences, if not the best experience I have ever had. I made some of my best friends there, and it’s amazing how well you get along with people. Good luck to everyone who applied! I might make a Facebook page, and if I do I’ll post the link here. If you do get in, be open to having new opportunities, experiences, and a chance for making life long friends. </p>

<p>Haha and in case you couldn’t tell, Axlintz was one of mine :smiley: Can’t wait for this year </p>

<p>Quick question for you returners: where do you eat and what dorms do you say in? I’m so excited, but like you said… very nervous!</p>
