This is Episode 1 of 10 of my Notre Dame review. Why am I doing this? When I got into Notre Dame, I didn’t know what I should do. Some people told me it was the best school in the country, and every alumnus I spoke with described their time in South Bend with overwhelming love. But others said it wasn’t worth it or insisted that the University of Wisconsin was a better choice. I was torn. I analyzed everything I could - student to professor ratio, majors, alumni perception, student experience, dorms, food, and more - yet nothing gave me a comprehensive answer. Ultimately, I was going to have make a decision. And after much thought and with support of my awesome parents, I chose Notre Dame. I realized if I picked another school, I’d always wonder, "what if?" Even stepping on campus freshman year, I wasn’t sure if I made the right choice. Over four years, I worked hard to meet people and embrace opportunities. I learned that Notre Dame isn’t for everyone, but it can be for you if you make it. This series is for my 17-year-old self, answering the questions I wish I’d known before choosing Notre Dame.
@@DrewBraaten It was a great video! I have a question about ND - I have always wanted to go to ND. I applied to both ND and Georgetown early action and was accepted to both, but I was rejected from NDs business school, but I was accepted to Georgetown’s. Could you at all to transferring into the business school at ND? Or, if I am just an econ major in arts and sciences, would that be just as good for jobs? If you were me, would you pick ND (love it more) or Georgetown (preferred major, business school, possibly better for career)
@@Chris-rv1vj few thoughts: 1. imo, even if you were an Econ/stats major at ND, if you did the same clubs and similar networking as someone in Mendoza, you will have similar opportunities for jobs 2. ND Mendoza internal transfer doesn't seem like a gimme, but if you have high GPA and good essays it appears like you have a good chance 3. If ND is dream school, considering the two points above, it seems like it's a good choice.
Hello bro, I have literally watched all your notre dame videos, as i have loved this school for a long time and have applied this year in rd, hopefully i get. Your videos have been so helpful and amazing. The kind of fun you guys have at notre dame, and everything i loved each part of it. I just wish for being accepted at school. I'm an indian and hope that as an Indian I get the opportunity to enjoy as much as you guys did.
@@nobleanim1022 got some advice fs, upcoming videos will be give more advice, but one tip for freshman year: get lunch or dinner with at at least one new people a week. This is super important to do as soon as possible. 1st semester freshman year everyone knows nobody and wants to meet new people. By 2nd semester, people begin to settle into social circles.
Yo bro I am new to this channel but this actually helped me a lot to see feedback from someone who just went through it. Im in the class of 2029, will be starting my college journey here and it looks like a dream I cant wait, even though I know it will be a challenge I also know it will help shape who I am so what a great opportunity and thanks again 🙏🙏🙏
