HARD TO GET IN DeSchryver I don ' t know what I did to get in here, but I did what I did and that was enough work, get good grades you know, the usual stuff. Plus whatever the powers that be declared as necessary. Beth DeSchryver Fifty-percent of the admissions process is done by us, and fifty-percent by the students. By articulating their unique qualities, the kids select themselves. John Goldrick My major obstacle to getting into Notre Dame was the large number of qualified students whose main goal was also admission to this universi- ty. Until I came here, I had never realized the extent of its widespread appeal. Anna Kim Kim Trompeter In high school, grades came naturally to the average N.D. student, but when you get here you realize that the standard for achievement skyrockets. To do as well here as you did in high school, you have to put in 110% effort. In high school, you didn ' t have to put in much at all. Sue Trompeter Klein One of the reasons I applied to Notre Dame was that it seemed a challenge to get in. Once here I was greatly humbled. I was no longer the top student in a class of 250, 1 was just an average student in a class of 1700. Jeff Klein 14 Hard To Get In
