<p>I don't really feel like doing the whole format thing but...</p>

<p>Deferred
SAT: 1480/2180
SAT II: Math I 720, Literature 730
GPA: 3.69 UW, lowered by a lot of Bs freshman and sophomore year.
4 APs as of graduation...
Significant volunteer work, clubs and sports.
I thought the essay was pretty solid, showed some personality.
Maybe something which brought me down was poor midterm grades for my first trimester, with two B+, one of which I brought up to an A, the other to an A-. Frustratingly I got my final, much improved, trimester grades right before they mailed decisions so I could not send them in.
Hopefully they will consider me come regular decision time...</p>

<p>Congrats to all the new acceptances......</p>

<p>and good luck maxwell..... if the grades were the problem and you show them strong grades...... that will help you out a lot</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>Posting for my daughter!!</p>

<p>•why you think you were accepted/rejected/deferred: I think it may have helped that my ec’s were diverse – tennis, violin, art, and my community service started out as a self-made project that has grown to the national level.</p>

<p>•going to attend? Have one more school to hear from but Notre Dame was by far above any other school I have visited – I loved it! Plan to visit again soon!</p>

<p>is ND Scholar given to people with 1500's and up? and what does it mean?</p>

<p>LoL Notre Dame is the only "top" school where being Asian actually helps.</p>

<p>Congrats guys and good luck in the Sugar Bowl.</p>

<p>A kid in our magnet program got rejected with 1480 ^.</p>

<p>It's not always true. You still have to stand out from everyone else.</p>

<p>ND Scholar is given to the top 20% based on test scores, class rank, and gpa. It's not just 1500's and up, b/c I'm one and I got a 1460.</p>

<p>Nope, i got a 1540 and was not an ND scholar..my GPA is slightly lower than those normally accepted from my hs</p>
