Why do you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I portrayed that i was very passionate about going to ND
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted to: Georgetown, BC, Providence College, UVA, Brown, Northwestern and Vanderbilt… havent heard back yet
General Comments: so grateful:-) congrats to all can’t wait to meet you!!!</p>
<p>Accepted and pretty surprised because I did the entire app in one day on common app. However, everyone on here who has had a 32+ ACT (and whatever the equivalent SAT is) has been accepted and i have a 32 so i’m guessing that holds a ton of weight for them</p>
<p>Congratulations Mikey ;)…My son’s hoping for that big envelope too, and he has that ACT of 32 also. I feel bad that I jumped all over you before, and I’m really wondering how you did elsewhere. I hope you were successful. Your hook was basketball, if I remember correctly. Do you think that might have played a part in your acceptance?</p>
