Notre Dame is my first choice college but I am also considering WashU as a backup (if I don’t get in to Notre Dame). Should I even bother applying to WashU? Is there any chance of me being accepted by WashU and denied by Notre Dame? Has anyone heard of this scenario playing out?
-Iowa
-Catholic school
-32
-4.34 weighted GPA (mostly As and A+s)
-above average ECs, leadership positions
-double legacy at Notre Dame
Hi sorry for a super late reply haha I saw this earlier and never got to it. I actually have lots of experience with Notre Dame and WashU seeing as they were also my top two picks. Ultimately I ended up picking WashU because when I visited I really felt at home.
I saw on one of your other posts that pre-law and Political Science is something that you are interested in. I too am very interested in doing law and WashU is ranked 1st overall by USA Today for Political Science so that also factored into my decision.
