[li] going to attend? Ummm...not sure. ND has always been my dream, but now I am not sure if I will fit in.[/li][/ul]Other Factors:
I was also named a Notre Dame Scholar, but I probably won't qualify for aid anyway. What does it mean...exactly?</p>
<p>mmartins,</p>
<p>I also had to choose between USNA and ND NROTC, and I ended up coming here to ND. We have the most respected NROTC program in the country here with almost every MIDN getting their first choice in Service Selection. My best friend went to USNA. While he knows he is getting a good education, he lives for coming home, while I love every minute I'm at ND. I don't know what you want to do in the Navy/Marine Corps, but in 5 short years, you will be going to Iraq/Afghanistan/Some other hell-hole, so you might as well have a good time before then.</p>

<p>deferred at notre dame, and ACCEPTED TO GEORGETOWN SFS?
what the hell is taht!
ahhaaha</p>
<p>@CK2308: You have really good stats, so it does seem off they would simply reject you. Perhaps you did not have the best essays or teacher recs. These are really the only things that the admissions officers have to judge your character, and if they are not great it can hurt you.</p>
<p>hey guys, i was deferred EA to notre dame, about how many students do they take in RD that were deferred?? i am hoping my 5 APs this year will look good and so far i have As in all of them...</p>
<p>CK2308, I have no idea as well, you look great to me, at a very minimum, a deferral.</p>
