<p>I've got a 'funny' feeling St. X and St. I will both be very well represented in South Bend this fall.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, do you have any clue how many Xavier kids ended up applying to ND or how well X did in Early Action? Our rep told us about that ridiculous year you guys had a little while back where 52 applied and around 30 got in and went.</p>

<p>blue06, st x did pretty well in early action. i believe approximately 7-10 were admitted that way already. i dont remember specifically there ever being 30 attending from one class, but i think that many could potentially get in. </p>
<p>your class beat us out on the PSAT's (28-27), so i imagine st i's will have good representation as well.</p>
<p>not to distract the thread too much, but doesn't i's also have a couple freshmen playing football there next year too?</p>

<p>definetly have to agree with you blaze991, although I'm guessing that i will still be on the phone with admissions monday discussing my options for transfering.</p>
<p>looking at those people who were accepted vs. those rejected.. im sooo not getting in. hm.. theres always boston college, heh.</p>
<p>Hating Notre Dame I feel is quite common if you have been rejected. I know I went through it. If you are thinking about transferring at all check out my website, I think it will help you! <a href="http://www.nd.edu/%7Emnadorff/transfer%5B/url%5D">www.nd.edu/~mnadorff/transfer</a></p>

[</em>] Hook (if any): Well, I have played the bassoon for six years in an extremely competitive student orchestra (I got in after playing for only a year and half). I study under the principal bassoonist of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra (This was very difficult to arrange. She only takes two students). I also play clarinet. I am an Eagle Scout.

[li] Other Factors: National Merit Finalist. National Honor Society. I founded an ultimate Frisbee team at my school (which I presently captain). I have been on the school engineering team for two years (This year we are first in the state and have a shot at a national title). I have been on the school quiz team for two years (varsity). I have taken the most challenging curriculum offered by my school (Every science course, every math course, every level of Latin (including a class at The Ohio State University)). Outside of school, I am in an ultimate Frisbee league. In Boy Scouts, I have been the Senior Patrol Leader for the past few years (Basically, that means that I am in charge of the troop). I was also elected into the Order of the Arrow (Brotherhood dedicated to cheerful service). I am an expert in Linux, I know a little about Unix, and I build and mod computers for people. [/ul]</p>[/li]
<p>ND was my safety school. I have been in Catholic schools for several years and I kind of want an out. However, not being a URM got me denied at Princeton, and not finding out about ISTS or Siemens until a few months ago was probably a big factor in getting waitlisted at Caltech. I also applied to Purdue on the offchance that I might get the Beering, but I didn't, so I am not going to Purdue. It looks like it's ND for me (unless Caltech reconsiders. I hate this region of the US. I want beaches and sunny skies in midwinter. w00t!).</p>
<p>I don't feel too bad about it. This is the same thing that happened to another student at my school who was the best student we ever produced. This kid was on the national math team, played varsity football, was an Eagle Scout, maxed his standardized tests, and had the highest GPA in school history. He got denied everywhere but ND too. Maybe other schools just don't much like us Papists :)</p>

<p>To AlmostIrish2006....you list large Catholic High School in South Bend, Indiana...let me guess St. Joe's? In all honesty I don't think one C+ made or broke your application chances. This was a really competitive year, as I'm sure you already know. I would say that from everything irish61876 has said and everything you can read in observer and elsewhere, that going to HC (the South Bend one) is not necessarily a good way to insure being able to transfer into ND. Of course there's a transfer Junior in my dorm who did it....so it can be done.</p>
<p>It can be done but it just seems to be harder, just like Saint Mary's. The thing is that there are just so many transfer applicants from those schools that it is more selective getting in because they want transfers from a diverse group of schools. It is kind of like how it may be easier to get into ND from Wyoming than Indiana. It is just something to consider when choosing a college but if SMC or Holy Cross is the place you want to be, then go there. I just don't recommend them if you are really planning on transferring.</p>
<p>PS, I forget what dorm you are in but is the transfer in question Timmy? If so, I am really good friends with him.</p>
