Hi guys, i have a huge question about Notre Dame transfer admission. Ok, i will admit i didnt do so successsful in high school ( gpa of a 2.7, ACT Composite score of a 17 ) because of many personal issues ( suicide, bullying, dad leaving & not supporting the family,depression, and people neglecting me, always saying i can’t, etc…) but now that im in college, i rly stepped up academically. Now i have a gpa of a 3.7, currently attending a Community college bc of financial issues. I need to know if my dreams of going to Notre Dame are completley shot. Personally, i have experienced a lot of the issues that RUDY had. Such as parents telling me that ND is for rich kids, im not smart enough, and instead of football, i want to swim for ND. Ive really improved in so many ways. Some accomplshments/extra curricular activities ive done was Swimming in high school, i became a NFL ( Niagara Frontier League ) Champion, came in 3rd place at sectionals twice, attended CLI ( Christian Leadership Institution ), A Religious ed aid and teacher, participated in Life in the spirit, many community service hours, and now im currently trying to Create a Campus Ministry Club at my college, and i work my butt off to make money for college ( cart pusher at walmart ). I don’t belong where i am. 2 weeks went by and no one wants to join the club. I need to be in a environment that has the same faith as me. ND is my top choice, i will go debt if i have too, ill study for hours, if i need a gpa of a 4.0, i will. Im so dedicated and intrisically motivated now. Also, my Girlfriend goes to ND and that makes me more motivated bc i can’t stand this long distance relationship. 7months being apart really hurts. So plz, help me out. What do i need to do ?
