35

<p>at this point based on the acceptances above it looks like ND's favorite part of the app is SAT score. i'm kinda worried that my 1460/2120 might not cut it for RD :/</p>

36

<p>what are you smoking? 1460 (what ND uses for the score) is good.</p>

37

<p>argh, it doesn't look like they left much room for lowly rd kids, congrats to everyone though</p>

38

<p>Like I said earlier iskan I would be more than willing to trade your ND acceptance for my BC acceptance. If it could only work that way.</p>

39

<p>I see that some of the acceptances included a ND Scholar designation. I note that Nameless, who was designated a ND Scholar is waiting on the honors designation. What does the ND Scholar designation mean and how is it different from the other acceptances?</p>

40

<p>To borrow from a previous thread on what an ND scholar designation means, here are the following quotes:</p>

<p>A Notre Dame Scholar is an honor given to the top 20% of our admitted pool. That means that those students had the highest class ranks, GPAs, and standardized test scores.
...</p>

<p>Approximately the top 20% of our admitted students (based on academic credentials) are named Notre Dame Scholars. Notre Dame Scholars who qualify for need-based aid may receive a preferential financial aid package, depending upon their eligibility for aid. We also recruit our Notre Dame Scholars to join our admissions ambassador programs.
...</p>

<p>Notre Dame Scholars who also have demonstrated financial need will receive financial aid with less in self-help, and therefore more in scholarship aid. </p>

<p>As to the person waiting to find about about admissions to ND's Honors Program here is my firsthand knowledge:</p>

<p>The program is only open to those students who on their application indicated Arts and Letters or Science Majors...</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Normally there are about 30 students chosen from each college so approximately 60 freshman enter the program each year.</p></li>
<li><p>As Freshman you will take a 2 semester ALHN Honor Seminar course....it was ALHN 195/196 before the school went to five digit course codes last year...</p></li>
<li><p>As a Freshman you will also take a Philosphy Seminar class. </p></li>
</ul>

<p>Both of the aforementioned classes, the ALHN and Philo Seminars are taken with other Freshman HP classmates...</p>

<p>The AL faculty advisor is professor Delaney, the Science one is professor Hahn, both are great guys and easy to deal with. </p>

<p>For more info about program requirements or whatnot you can go to <a href="http://www.nd.edu/%7Ealhonors%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.nd.edu/~alhonors&lt;/a> and check out the website. Or post additional questions/PM message me and I'll try to answer them, I could go on for a lot longer, but that's enough basic info on these subjects.</p>
