Would I have gotten into ND without my legacy status?

So a top 3% of the class / 35 ACT / advanced math / well rounded with strong ECs applicant gets into a school that is a solid match and is still looking for people to say ‘yes, you are amazing’?

I really tried to write that with no attitude.

Only 12% of accepted students are legacy (per ND)- but your class will be 20-25% legacies, b/c they are more likely to accept their offers- which ND likes (makes the yield #s look better).

If this is real insecurity, nobody here can fix it: that’s something you have to do for yourself.

Is this ‘I’m still the bride!’ syndrome, go join the ND accepted students groups on your favorite social media platform.

Congratulations & have a great 4 years.
