    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.

    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)

      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.

      @Jordanwalker17  4 года назад

      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!
