<p>hey guys, junior interested in ND’s architecture program…any comments about it would be apreciated…i hope i can get in…</p>
<p>ACT: 34
SAT (as of now): 1280/1600
1990/2400</p>
<p>Class Rank: 3/450 (top 1%)
Most rigorous classes</p>

youth coach</p>
<p>…also i am hispanic</p>
<p>just wondering what that would do for me at ND and also at other high profile universities…is being a minority beneficial</p>
<p>thanks alot</p>
<p>yes. it helps. 24% of this years admitted class were minority.
also with your stats you’d most likely be pretty well off no matter what.
but there are never guarantees with these top-tier schools.</p>
<p>thanks for your response</p>
<p>no problem. welcome to cc.
yea. I was just admitted with a 31 so you seem to be good there.
but I’ve seen people with higher rejected…
make sure you have some leadership positions, and work hard on your essay.
(start thinking about it as soon as they come out in summer)</p>
<p>Architecture is the most rigorous undergad program at Notre Dame, more than engineering. So be prepared to work, but also to have a tone of fun, because whenever I walk by and see them they are laughing and shooting the bull over there in Bond. Plus you get to spend an entire year in Rome guaranteed, that’s pretty sweet.</p>
<p>yea the rome trip is a big plus…</p>
<p>again thanks for all the input</p>
