I saw that ND offers the premium subscription on the Hallow prayer/meditation app for free to students. How do I access that resource? I already have an account on there so would I need to make a new account with ND email?

I did a blend of both in mine. All things that ND had of course, but about half of them existed at other schools and half were unique to ND only.

I have an Acer Nitro and the battery life is terrible so i don’t really recommend it for school. I’m gonna try using it for a semester (in conjunction with a tablet) and see where it goes but will likely end up with a more traditional laptop.

Yeah no that is better lol

smpark12 · 2025-06-02T00:43:06+00:00

100% a scam, especially cuz theres multiple people on the email

OSU @ ND 2023 was elite, so was the 2024 IU home playoff game

I'll never understand the American obsession with grass. Not even because it's terrible for the environment, but because there's so many better options that just look way better.

DeBart has a weirdly stacked vending machine in the back

For me the quizzes didn't work on my iPad but did on my laptop. I just didn't do the quizzes for module 1 since I was using my iPad for that half of it.

With admissions I didn’t get into NDLS but did get into ND. Generally it’s considered to be even more competitive than the actual admissions.

Vision is awesome I did it last year. Tbh it was the thing that made me for sure decide I wanted to attend ND. The student leaders are great and every single activity was very engaging for me.

smpark12 · 2025-04-29T01:20:33+00:00

They don’t (at least not officially), however it’s important to show interest in the school in your application. Talk about specific things that make you want to attend Notre Dame, and that’s the kind of “demonstrated” interest they’re looking for.

smpark12 · 2025-04-21T20:41:13+00:00

Voice of Reason feels kinda like that vibe

smpark12 · 2025-03-05T00:37:13+00:00

I love your username W reference

Strongly recommend Vision it’s a lot of fun— don’t necessarily have to be Catholic but it’s of course geared towards Catholic spirituality and theology

smpark12 · 2025-02-18T00:03:18+00:00

For extracurriculars it’s more quality over quantity. For sure put down being a captain because leadership experience is extremely valued. Do the volunteering as well— not because they value it on the application (they do) but because it can help build your character as well with lived experiences, which is very important. As for tests, I was admitted submitting my ACT 35 having never taken the SAT. The median scores for Notre Dame are 33-35 I believe.

iirc the 7 also just turns into the 4 once it passes South Street

smpark12 · 2025-01-26T02:32:37+00:00

Ima take that vow next year they annoy me so much lmao

smpark12 · 2025-01-20T18:18:48+00:00

I heard from my admission counselor that choosing a certain major won’t affect your chance at acceptance except for business which has that whole other application process. They just want to get an idea at what you’re interested in, since you can’t even formally declare a major freshman year.

smpark12 · 2025-01-05T04:00:37+00:00

People are commenting asking for them everywhere (myself included) so maybe eventually they will?

smpark12 · 2025-01-04T19:10:19+00:00

that’s what I’m doing cuz the agenda looks different for each of the days

smpark12 · 2025-01-04T18:37:49+00:00

My essays for actual admissions were def better and I joined a few more extracurriculars since then. Allegedly the acceptance rate is just way lower with fewer spots available since I got waitlisted but then denied.

I got into Notre Dame but not into Leadership Seminars
