Rudy had tried really hard to get into Notre Dame do that, but he didn't have good enough grades to do that. When his best friend Petey died Rudy was more determined to follow his dreams. Soon after his friends death Rudy had pushed it into high gear to get his grades on track. Rudy had turned something bad into something he could learn from. To help Rudy get a lay of the land he had volunteered to do work for free just so he could raise his chances playing football for the Notre Dame team. When Rudy had saw that his grades were good he submitted an application for Notre Dame. When he got the letter back that had told him that he didn't make it Rudy was sad at first, but that didn't stop him. Rudy kept working on getting into college. He sent in one application after another until they accepted him.
