<p>Exactly Polishamrock89, I told them not to EVEN look because I can't stand the thought of them knowing before me. It's always been the same with my report card too.</p>
<p>I wish I could do that with my report card... my school addresses it to my parents, thus they won't let me open it. </p>
<p>But, oh, I can't take this anymore! I'm probably going to end up standing in front of the mailbox for an hour before I get up the courage to open it... only to find out it hasn't come yet, leaving me with another 24 hours of agony. I think they do this on purpose...</p>

[<em>] Essays: I pretty much wrote about my accomplishments then mentioned why I liked Notre Dame and talked VERY briefly about ND's RESOUND program.

[</em>] major strength/weakness: My strengths, hmm...well I work very hard and pretty much never get tired mentally and weakness, I absolutely am terrible at sports. Little fun fact about me: I always pray before I take a big exam. It helps a lot!
[<em>] why you think you were accepted: Well, I really have no idea. My class rank doesn't say much since my school is so small but my SAT scores and extracurriculars weren't bad. My father attending there probably helped too, but he never donated to ND. More importantly, though, and I believe this is totally true, it was all the Lord's doing.
[</em>] going to attend? ABSOLUTELY
[*] Other Factors: I've been accepted to Baylor Univ, Texas Lutheran Univ, Trinity Univ, Austin College, and now ND. I've been waitlisted at Rice Univ and rejected at Johns Hopkins...go figure. Anyways, if anyone else is enrolling at ND and is from TX then PM me! I wish everyone the best of luck getting in![/ul]</p>
