Just wanted to point out that Notre Dame is a GREAT school and is not considered 2nd tier. It's ranked #18 by USNWR currently, and though I do have issues with the way USNWR does its rankings, I don't think ND's placement is necessarily wrong. I did not attend ND obviously, but I have a couple of friends who did, and they are very bright.
ETA: I do think it's odd that I didn't see any note on her Web site saying that she has in fact been admitted to ND. Where's the proof? And I have to say that I think it's a very bad idea for this girl to post so much sensitive information (transcripts even?!) on the Internet. Also, the recommendation from the math teacher looks like it was just a list of things on the girl's resume. Her essay that's posted is also written the way I probably wrote in middle school. Two huge paragraphs does not equal an essay in my opinion. If this girl wants to study any kind of engineering, I think she's foolish not to go to Michigan, actually. It is one of THE engineering schools.
