[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was looking at Notre Dame’s admissions page —[b]“we empower brilliant energetic thinkers who are motivated to change the world.” [/b]

Heady stuff! That’s a pretty high threshold. I suppose there are enough students like that, but most 17/18 year olds have no idea what they want to do in life, let alone change the world!

Are regular high-achieving students ever admitted to Notre Dame— kids who have lots of APs, good work ethic, well-liked, good EC—or just the students who have extraordinary experiences and insights?[/quote]

You actually believe what an admissions page says?  That's all fluff marketing. [/quote]

[b]So you’re saying regular kids ARE admitted?? You don’t have to be a super star?[/quote][/b]

Yes, regular catholic legacies are admitted. Here's another piece of ND marketing:

What type of student does Notre Dame look for?
Well-rounded senior class leaders. Dedicated artists. Our most competitive applicants are more than just students—they are creative intellectuals, passionate people with multiple interests. Above all else, they are involved—in the classroom, in the community, and in the relentless pursuit of truth.

same garbage that every school prints[/quote]

Oh yep, I saw that.[b] “Relentless pursuit of truth” 😂😂 [/quote][/b]

Ridiculous.  Really.  So what do you put in your essay, "I relentlessly pursue truth".  ding![/quote]
