<p>I think Affirmative Action is a great topic for College Confidential. Maybe not the Notre Dame forum, but it is a very good topic to discuss on this website.</p>
<p>I’m just sick of shyman’s inconsistencies. That’s all I’m saying.</p>
<p>Haha and no, my first name isn’t Chris.</p>
<p>numbersguy - I agree with everything you said - and good to bring up the big win for us over UCLA - and all of you incoming freshman, as Brian Kelly stated, get in shape over the summer because we will be doing a lot of pushups - GO IRISH</p>
<p>I am not in favor of “affirmative action” simply put that it is reverse discrimantion against other i.e whites. I stil feel that I did not deserve a spot in the Class of 2014 as Icompare my stats to everyone else.</p>
<p>Deferred
SAT: 2280 (800 w, 800 cr, 680 m)
GPA: 4.1 weigted
sent my first marking period grades, which had a gpa of about 4.7
recs: awesome (2 teachers, guidance, employer, ND alum)
essays: people said they were good
EC: tons (3 leadership positions)
hook: NCTE (NATIONAL COUNCIL OF TEACHERS OF ENGLISH) award for outstanding writing; various publised pieces; gave writing samples from lit mags & school newpaper
thoughts: I’m a little confused, but I guess my GPA just wasn’t strong enough. Otherwise, I think my application was strong. I got into BC, Fordham, & Villanova.</p>
<p>kcorr2010 - you look like a fabulous and accomplished writer - hopefully with the increase in GPA you will get accepted - if you have the time over break, maybe write another great essay - you appear to be a great writer, so this may help. </p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>Schools say to send them any sort of other accomplishments for when they re-evaluate your application in the RD period. What sort of accomplishments are they looking for? More community service hours? Academic awards?</p>
<p>Do you think ND would read another essay?</p>
<p>It is questionable, I would email the counselor, but if it doesn’t greatly improve you application, then it may not be a good idea - I would email your counselor - thinking about it a little more, you might want to ask first … and aeroglisseur, I would say yes, awards, distinctions, new SATs, but do not give community service hours unless it is substantial.</p>
<p>I was deferred but I got into UChicago and Villanova. I’m still waiting on letters from SMU, Tulane and UT in the coming weeks too.</p>
<p>I’m confused by the line about sending additional supplementary material. For example, I am now in training to become a certified nursing assistant (I want to be a premedicine student in addition to my major). Would informing the university of this help my chances at all or would it be considered unnecessary?</p>
<p>I’m also unsure of whether I should take the SAT or ACT again. My scores are 2030 and 31 respectively.</p>
<p>I got deferred because of my ACT score. <em>shakes head</em></p>
<p>WestHendo2010 - this is something that is unique (I assume), so I would email your counselor with this info - basically, as long as you don’t over email your counselor with new info, then it fine. </p>
<p>Additionally, if you can stomach to take the tests again, I would, your scores can only go up! (or else they don’t count)</p>
<p>SMU letters went out the Dec 17 you should have heard by now either way</p>
<p>hey guys, I posted this in a different EA thread but I wanted to get more responses and the extra long wait is killing me.
I didn’t get my EA letter so I looked up my app and found I put my wrong address. I am usually not like that. So I’m sure my letter made its way from FL back to IN. And I called on the 24, when I realized it wasn’t coming and silly me, Catholic U, no answer until Jan 4.
Since then, my mailman must know my name because I have gotten two letters from the university, a Christmas card and a financial aid application. Did everyone get these letters? Accepted and Rejected or Deferred?
Just trying to piece it together. Thanks : )</p>
<p>I got accepted and got those two letters. They came about a week or so ago. Congrats, I think you probably got in!!</p>
<p>Thanks chrissmith332. I hope so!</p>
