University of Notre Dame

Camellia07

Below are my answers to some application questions. My opinions may be not proper for the specific case. Here I just want to share my thoughts in application with all of you interested in ND.  Good luck to everyone!

-----------

1. It is my understanding that GPA is not as important as work experience, GMAT and essays because you are not applying research program such as PhD.  Pay attention to the overall application package.

2. GMAT 720 is more than ND's average, so it is enough to show your academic

potential for future MBA study.

3. Notre Dame is founded in 1842 by French missionary Congregation of Holy Cross.

Notre Dame is one of the most prestigious Catholic  University in US, however,

Catholic University does not mean the less academic  freedom or belief

discrimination.

4. Actually, Notre Dame enjoys great academic freedom and encourages different

opinions regarding various social, religious, economic and scientific issues.

ND not only attracts catholic students, but also attracts people of varied

belief and helps people  find their own belief and discover themselves.  Sunset, lakes,

woods, Grotto, rings from Basilica and the people jogging, reading, praying or

meditating constitute the harmonious scenery in the lake area at sunset during

summer.

5. About Irish football team, it has a reputation of underdog who beat the No.1

Team in history.  So I believe Irish will perform much better in the next football season.

This may be “the underdog spirit”.  Regarding choosing the candidates, ND seems

to prefer the people who have potential over the seemingly brilliant ones. This

may can explain why ND has many successful alumni in many fields who were

modest and humble in university compared with their academic-excellent or athletic-talented peers.

6. To understand the culture of Notre Dame, I strongly recommend the movie "Rudy".

Congratulations to jij711! 

I think you may reply the Christmas letter and mention the fellowship issue in the letter, but the Admissions may reply after Christmas season.  Be relax. The fellowship can be granted in a couple of weeks in a separate letter.

XDJM们，我刚刚和Brian面完了，说是Kim的，临时换成Brian了，问题和jij711遇到的一样，除了少了leadership，换成了community service之外。

觉得自己回答地不是太好，简直就是一盘语言的碎片，痛苦。菩萨保佑我可以去ND这么好的学校。

再次感谢jij711 MM提供的宝贵线索。
