<p>okay so i've posted on here a million times, but i just got my december act back and my score improved!! (so excited lol) so after being defffferrreeeddd here are my final stats...</p>

<p>act: 32 (quick question... i know they don't take best scores of each test but i'm sending all 3 of my tests and ive gotten at least a 33 on every subject during different tests... will they take that into consideration at all?)</p>

<p>sat II's: physics: 710 math II: 720 us: 680</p>

<p>gpa: 3.99/4.00 (4.7 weighted)-- straight a's except stupid calc bc
rank: 3/636 (weighted) 15/636 (unweighted)</p>

<p>ap's: 10 in total i think</p>

<p>mid year report: i think straight a's but maybe one b+</p>

<p>ec's: varsity football captain (all-conference, all-area), varsity basketball captain</p>

<p>volunteer: lots of work through my church, at local teen center, etc.</p>

<p>awards: ap scholar w/ honor (i think thats the one), all-area football, all state academic football, some other crap too dont feel like listing...</p>

<p>not really any school involvement like clubs or nething else in school (football and basketball are before school, after school--all year around time committment and i explained that on my app)</p>

<p>job: worked delivering parts for company</p>

<p>hook: got VERY notable alumni to write recommendation letter

<p>I really think you will get in.</p>

<p>i am surprise u didnt get in EA, maybe the reason is not because u are not good enough, but rather u didnt present yourself well to the adcom. But GL with the regular u should get in though.</p>

<p>You deserve to get in. I can feel how psyched you are about your scores.</p>

<p>I suggest sending your admit counselor at Notre Dame a short e-mail just letting them know you are sending your new improved scores etc. It's nice to keep in contact with them through the process.</p>

<p>"surprised you didn't get in EA"</p>

<p>well, bq, i was hoping i would have a shot EA but my act score was 31 when i applied... the non legacy/athlete average is up to 33/34, and with my act being below that i figured i wouldnt get in EA-- they usually will only accept those who excede all categories... but im keepin my fingers crossed for RD and i really think the 31 to 32 makes a difference although it seems quite insignificant... i feel like my act score is really the only thing holding me back... THX FOR YOUR COMMENT!</p>
