Subjective
Essays: happy with them. It was difficult to condense everything into such a small word limit, but I thought I managed pretty well. ND has been my #1 forever and I tried to convey my love for it in the supplements (why ND, etc)
Teacher Recs: Very good
Counselor Rec: Not sure I trust this one as much but it was probably fine
Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): None; tried to get some people in the ND community to speak on my behalf but it evidently didn’t work

Anything else?
Was really bummed by the result, although I was expecting it. I’m in love with ND more than anything and intend to transfer next year. Congrats to everyone who got in; if you’re financially able to attend you absolutely should! There’s nowhere else in the world like it and you’ve got a great opportunity, so definitely take it. Go irish!
