<p>I was deferred last year, then accepted RD. I retook the SAT, did better, and got As for another semester. I didn’t do anything else, like contact admissions, but that would probably be helpful (it can’t hurt, at the very least). However, I don’t think you should incessantly call them just to keep in contact; send a letter expressing your interest, but show that you’re only doing so because you have things to say. Obviously everyone applying is interested, so mere interest can’t set you apart.</p>
<p>If you retook the SAT/ACT (probably too late to do so now? I’m not sure) and did better, send those. Send your grades for the fall semester. If you can write a good letter of interest, send that. But ultimately, you’re just going to have to ride out the wait. Good luck.</p>
<p>P.S. [Here’s</a> last year’s RD thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-notre-dame/1108845-official-notre-dame-class-2015-rd-decisions.html]Here’s”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-notre-dame/1108845-official-notre-dame-class-2015-rd-decisions.html), some people who got in listed that they were deferred EA. It should give you an idea for your chances.</p>
