Hey Jordan, thanks for these videos about notre dame. It’s all been really helpful trying to guide myself.
I am glad they are helpful!
Love your video. Excellent advice.
Thank you for this video!
I’m a senior and I got in. Class of 2026! Thank you for this video.
If your dreams don't scare you they're not big enough. LOVE IT !~!
This was great! Very informative.
I got in class of 2024!
Congratulations!

Congrats!!
Same dudee .. got into Mendoza .. ill see you guys there
I'm in 2024 as well!!
Let’s go ND football 🏈🔥
Good video, thanks for sharing
Fair play to you, that's great you got in but it makes me glad I went to university in Europe. In Europe generally, it's just your academic scores. No one cares about extra curricular. If you want to do say, Engineering degrees, do you have good scores in High School math, engineering and science classes. That's all the universities care about.
Bro I'm only a freshman, I don't even know what my GPA is
Thank you
Im applying to ND this year. I really would like to go but I have no clue if my ACT will bring me to a 0.00000001% of acceptance (it was a 26 comp). I have a very good gpa though (3.99 unweight & 5.23 weighted), and I take great interest in my extracurriculars. Well here's hoping (finger cross)
Good luck!!
@@mefencamm7199 I thank you good sir (tips hat)
When do you know if you get accepted??
@@SirSquireWafflesdid you get in
I have a 32 on the ACT and a 3.9 gpa and no AP scores I want to send them and I'm SO SCARED
It’s okay to be scared, just stay confident in what you have accomplished thus far!
32 ACT is pretty good and the 3.9 gpa. it would help to have some ap's though. atleast 3 or 4
CX The Dev or dual credits I took 2 AP’s and around 3-4 Dual Credit classes and got accepted but I got 4.0 tho
CX The Dev Also sometimes AP classes got study guide. Literally my sophomore Physical E Science study guide was the whole notebook all the notes we took in class + conceptual notes
Just got accepted, class of 2025, so excited to attend!!!!!!
Congrats! Welcome to the ND Family!
i applied REA this year, decision will come out this saturday, best of luck....🍀
Good luck!
Did you get in?
Hi Jordan. I am curious that Is Notre Dame accpeted transfer applicants from community college ?.
I believe so, I would double check Notre Dame's Website for more info and deadlines
Anh Nguyen they do
How should I reach out to my admissions representative.
Email is probably the best way.
The volume is too low
Would you say that the university of Norte dame has a lot of African American students?
I would say no, there are some but I would not consider it a lot by any means. I think the University is trying to increase diversity which is good but they still have a lot of work to do.
Do you know what the average gpa and sat is?
I am unsure of the average GPA, I would assume 3.9 and above but I could be wrong on that. As for the SAT, I think the average Reading and Writing score is 680-750 and the Math is 690-770. Hope this helps!
@@Jordanwalker17 Thank you! :)
Did you apply in REA or RD? Really confused rn and need your help.
I applied regular decision.
@Jordan Walker tysm
You and your grades wet like Jordan! $$$
Couldn't get into Keenan huh? (ND '64)
With all due respect, Stanford > Keenan. Go griffins! But North Quad > South Quad.
Hey man, go Irish, and where is your hoodie from?
It is a Polo Bear hoodie from Ralph Lauren!
Any tips for boosting your Act score?
Practice tests helped me out the most, it sucks to do them but it definitely pays off.
Waitlisted :( any advice?
What I would do would be to email your admissions counselor a letter stating (if you think ND is a perfect fit for you) why ND is the perfect fit for you and what the University can do for you and what you can do for the University. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!

I got accepted REA for Class of 2024 and ND is my dream school!!! I'm so excited!!
Congrats!!
@@Jordanwalker17 Thank you!! I have loved watching your experience on ND and motivated me to apply
Is a 1330 too low
1400-mid1500s is around the middle 50% I believe, it’s not impossible to get in with a 1330 but it will be a little more difficult.
A friend got into Stanford with a 1330! If you really want it and they really want you, you’ll get in. Make sure your essays are awesome
@@Jordanwalker17 yeah didnt get in :(
@@juanmartingomez3747 didn't get in either with a 1440... Penn State might've actually been a better fit for me and I might actually be happier here, but ND still holds a place in my heart thanks to my grandpa, lol.
Just got accepted REA Class of 2027!
Congratulations!! Welcome to the Irish family! ☘️
Hey! Congratulations!!! What was your GPA? Can I get into ND with 3.7 in scale of 4.0 GPA?
