<p>Decision: Accepted!</p>
<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT: 1480/2240
[</em>] SAT IIs: 760 US History, 740 Math2, 740 Lit
[<em>] ACT: n/a
[</em>] GPA: 3.99 unweighted
[<em>] Rank: 5/1050
[</em>] Other stats: 5 AP exams, all 5's; National Merit Finalist; have taken 16 AP/Honors/dual credit courses
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: main one was just okay; I used the second one to talk about my love for ND
[</em>] Teacher Recs: He said I exemplify the best traits in mankind... so that one was nice...
[<em>] Counselor Rec: She has no idea who I am. It was pretty weak.
[</em>] Hook (if any): Not a legacy; Notre Dame Summer Experience 2006; I know a couple professors, but I'm not sure if they wrote a letter or not, and I didn't want to ask
[<em>] ECs: Varsity dance team member and captain, president of new student mentor group, Sunday school teacher, DECA national event finalist, NHS, freshman mentor, Diversity Focus Group
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[</em>] State or Country: Indiana
[<em>] School Type: Public
[</em>] Ethnicity: white (and Catholic)
[<em>] Gender: female
[</em>] major strength/weakness: I go to a huge high school, and we've had some successful students at ND... my neighbor was valedictorian. I think putting my application in the context of my high school helped.
[<em>] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: haha... Prayer? I think because my application was decent across the board. There wasn't one category, like test scores, that would have been the best they had ever seen, but I don't think I gave them a reason NOT to let me in. But who knows.
[</em>] going to attend? Enrolled a month ago! I got in everywhere else, but you just don't turn down Notre Dame.
[/ul]Other Factors:
Congrats to everyone else who got in, and good luck to all those applying RA and to those who were deferred- the wait is the worst part. But the big white envelope makes it all worth it :)</p>

<p>I wish more people who got rejected or deferred would post stats so the line might be a little easier to draw for anxiously awaiting RDErs... we won't judge you I swear!!</p>

<p>i really thought i had a good shot, there mustve been something about me they didnt like but i still havent figured out what that is. ive been accepted to honors programs at more selective universities since i was rejected from ND though :)</p>
<p>thanks for posting and congrats on getting into those more competitive schools!</p>
<p>seems to me that college admissions in general are a gamble nowadays</p>
<p>Where did you get in CK2308?</p>
<p>i got deferred.
ACT:31
GPA: 3.975 UW</p>
<p>We don't rank (plus theres only 185 kids at our school 36ish in my class)
-Took the hardest classes possible at my school.
EC: Student Gov. 4 years (Student body VP 11)
Band- 4 years
Cross country 4 years
track- 3
basketball- 3 (broke my knee last feb...)
math sci bowl(10-12)
honor soc.(11-12)
Drama (9-12 major role-11)
led a campaign to raise $5000 and awareness for AIDS relief in Africa.
and a few more things i'm too lazy to type
Work: I save lives...
ok i lifeguard and havn't really ever had to do a real save... just little things...</p>
<p>umm thats all i can think of right now but im going off work, 3 hours of sleep, and angels and airwaves concert friday night. </p>
<p>the possible kicker is I've applied for ROTC. Idk how much or if that helps.</p>
<p>Ps. did any of you guys see Harengody nail those 3s the other night when he went for 40 against louisville</p>
<p>broke your knee??? oh geez, isn't the kneecap the most painful part of the body? hope you're feeling better</p>
<p>Does anyone know what a 31 would translate to SATs? I know nothing about ACTs..</p>
<p>Apparently the rotc has no pull in the admissions process. If you get selected for the rotc early then its annotated on your application, but I asked one of the admissions guys and he said that they don't consider the rotc in the admissions process.</p>
<p>kinda confusing but the ACT score on top matches witht eh SAT right below it</p>

<p>Thanks for that, helps a lot since some people only post ACT scores.</p>
<p>thats all we take here in the midwest lol
sorry to throw you guys off.
but thats also just rough estimates.
you can't really compare the 2 fairly, they just aren't the same</p>
<p>haha I'm probably the only one thrown off; I know nothing about them</p>
<p>wish I had taken it since you don't have to send it or anything</p>
