<p>p.s. I'm a legacy
So do I have a shot at ND?</p>

<p>youre a legacy, so you have a good shot. you might want to raise your SAT a little still though. I got waitlisted with a 3.9 and 2180, but im a white/nonlegacy</p>

3

<p>thanks Ill work on the SAT
btw when would you consider applying to ND in my situation</p>

4

<p>Wait a minute. You got waitlisted with a 3.9 and a 2180 SAT, but Smithlazers gets in with significantly lesser stats just because he's a legacy?</p>

<p>That doesn't seem fair.</p>

<p>Shoe66:</p>

<p>Smithlazers is a legacy and a URM, so basically a double bonus. </p>

<p>Also Smithlazers, although that 1950 is a decent score, if you want an excellent shot in getting in I suggest raising that to around a 2150. You should have an excellent chance then.</p>

<p>Okay, so what is up with you copying my information? I posted this info last night, and you just copied all of it word for word:</p>

<p>"Medical Careers Program @ local Univ. Hospital Summer 06
ACT: 29 (30 Superscored)
PSAT: 199
Active in Youth Group"</p>

<p>At least you changed "Published Author" to 'Accomplished Poet'!</p>

<p>I posted all of this on this thread:

<p>I copied your format and it just happens that we scored the same Psat and ACT I am active in a youth group and I am an accomplished poet. Also if you read above you will see I'm very active at M D Anderson Cancer Hospital. Your not the only one that has accomplished these things I guess I was just too lazy to put them in my own words since it was a)late and b) I was tired.... sorry for miscommunication.</p>

8

<p>That's okay, it was just really weird to see someone put it all in the same wording. Well, since we're pretty similar in scores/activities, where are you thinking about applying to?</p>

9

<p>you should probably apply regular, but im not sure if ND is like other schools that encourage legacies to apply early.</p>

<p>ND cares the most about legacies of any school, so yes my stats were not good enough for a non legacy, but his might be for a legacy</p>

<p>MrMatt07
Notre Dame is definitely my first choice
University of Texas
University of TAMU

14

<p>anyone else wish to chime in</p>

15

<p>I think that if you're a legacy/URM you have a good shot of getting in. But I don't know about EA/RD. If it's your first choice then I'd say apply EA.</p>

16

<p>yeah but they say the admissions are more conservative during EA
and my grades arent the greatest</p>

17

<p>any input. . .</p>

18

<p>come on cc!</p>

19

<p>Flip a coin. Heads is EA tails is RD. Thats how I decided for ND and it worked out.</p>

<p>lol I think theres a better way than that</p>
