For months I’ve read the postings…“Please what are my chances”…“Please read my essay”…“Are my stats good enough”…“I received a catalog…does it mean something”…“What if my essay goes 100 words over limit”…etc.etc. So much angst and worry… We speak of the Admissions Staff with hushed and reverant tone…Do you think that the Admissions people look at these postings, and laugh? Perhaps there is no secret selection method…only a dart board full of applications and staff holding a handful of darts. I try to keep a sense of humor about this. At this point, it is out of my control. In one of these postings…I read someone say that if they didn’t get accepted to ND, it was because God had other plans for them. I think I have adopted this attitude. So all of your fellow nervous high school seniors…have fun your last semester, enjoy the close friends that you have made and realize that we are living some of the best days of our lives! Good luck Class of 2011!
