What My Chances to Get into Notre Dame

Hi! I just wanted to know what my chances are. Be honest. You won’t hurt my feelings. I must admit: I wasn’t always a good student, but I have improved over the years. I know my ACT and academic profile is not that high, but all I’m looking for is a chance. I am just hoping that Notre Dame sees potential in me. Any feedback is appreciated.

Profile:

Weighted GPA: 5.027 out of 5
Unweighted GPA: 3.5 out of 4
ACT: 26
Class Rank: 59 out of 442
I am not Catholic, but I am Christian
Ethnicity: African-American

  • Both Parents have at least masters
  • 3rd of 3 children (Both attend college)
    -I took 13 Honors and A.P classes throughout my high school career.

Extra Curricular Activities:
-Played Basketball for 1 year
-Involved in 3 choirs at my school (2 are varsity, audition only) for 4 years
– NOTE: I am the President of my choir of 70, as well as a section leader
-I am the Secretary of National Honor Society of my school
-I Served Various Community Service at 2 different churches that I attend for for years

  • Involved with about 50-60 hours of community service a semester

Be Honest. Results are supposed to come in a week or two so I can post results if anyone is interested.

You have a chance, probably stronger with regular admission. The ACT score is still a little low for ND. It’s always worth a chance!
