<p>I didn’t look to see if there is a decision thread for this past admitted class, but if there is, browse that to get a sense for how things look. </p>
<p>From my son’s high school, the val and sal are both going to ND, neither is a legacy – val is unweighted 4.0 with a 35 ACT, and sal is a 3.95 unweighted, I don’t know that student’s testing specifically but my son tells me it is a 34 or above. Both of those students were in the most rigorous curriculum offered at the school.</p>
<p>The stats of admitted students at ND are overwhelming to me, as a parent. As tantalizing as the idea is that seeing a range of acceptance stats will verify your chances, there are just too many variables to make it that simple. Bottom line, top stats matter at ND, as with any other top 20 university. </p>
<p>Good luck, and work on identifying a true safety that you can afford and would be happy to attend if the dice don’t roll your way at ND or another school.</p>
