Hi Everyone, right now im a senior in highschool and would love to go to notre dame in the upcoming fall. I have a good gpa, its about a 4.4/5 (top 5%), good SATs great ec’s what have you…
Recently, my uncle set me up with one of his closeest friends who happens to be a trustee emeritus at nd and huge donor, and his son, who is also a huge donor (they both have buildings named after them). The trustee will probably make a phone call to the admissions committee and the son will likely write a letter of recommendation on my behalf. Both of them know my grades, ec’s, and sats. I was just wondering what kind of weight a connection like this would hold. I mean, I think im pretty qualified to get into notre dame, however id like to know if a connection like this can have a strong impact on an admissions decision.
thanks
