<p>lets make it a little more easier to read by making ACCEPTED green, REJECTED red, and WAITLIST yellow. Do this by by putting Red, Yellow, or Green in where the word "Red" is right now in the first line.</p>
<p>Stats:
* SAT: 1880: 620 CR, 650 M, 650 W
* SAT IIs: None
* ACT: 29
* GPA: 3.65
* Rank: 36 of 150
* Other stats: 4s on 6 AP Exams</p>
<p>Subjective:
* Essays: Wrote about starting my own foundation when I was 12, and the importance of working to help others.
* Teacher Recs: Pretty good I would say
* Counselor Rec: Not that strong; she just came this year to our school
* Hook (if any): My dad and grandpa are alums and my parents donated somewhere around $200,000 over the past two years for financial aid </p>
<p>Location/Person:
* State or Country: CT
* School Type: Typical elite CT non-religious prep school
* Ethnicity: Caucasian
* Gender: Female
* major strength/weakness: Community service was my biggest strength. I've done lots of stuff both internationally and domestically. Weakness is test scores. My rank in class is lower than most, but my school is EXTREMELY competitive, and has a really good reputation. Nearly all of the students get into schools in the top 20.
* why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: Many ND alums in family, I'm generally a good student overall, lots of honors and AP classes, good, but not great test scores. I've never been good at taking tests.
* going to attend? waiting on schools that are ranked higher than ND, but may attend; currently accepted at 2 ivies, Northwestern, Notre Dame </p>

If you get rejected, there's always the transfer option, or you can change the world and make Notre Dame sorry that they turned you down!</p>
