<p>Actually i don't know if that is how to characterize it but... oh well.</p>
<p>So i am applying to transfer to ND this winter b/c i really want to be in their Liberal Studies and poli sci program. I have wanted to go here my whole life but, my hs grades were dismal, played to many sports and did too little academics. so i am a sophomore now at WMU (western Michigan University). I have solid grades. about a 3.89 according to u of m standards - only have one b due to physics - im a bio minor so i needed that and chem. </p>
<p>Within the last two weeks since i sent in my app i have had two profs (1 a priest at Notre Dame) and a family friend who is a Cardinal in the Catholic Church write letters of recommendation to the admissions committee for me (i know they are great ones two - received near perfect grades in their classes). In my essays i highlighted what has set me back- my academics in high school and how i have overcome poor grades - but i never highlighted why i want to go to ND. would it be to aggressive for me to write them a letter stipulating why i want to go there? i just dont want to bug the crap out of them to the point of where they are sick of me - but i also want to show them that i am very interested in their institution. what do i do??? is that in conjunction with my three letters of rec just going to be too much? (the letters of recommendation are not required, but it i have never heard from anyone that they hurt your potential.</p>
<p>insightful knowledge?? please</p>
<p>im debating both nd and umich - both different reason, both highly interested with both.</p>
