<p>Im a junior in houston, texas. im starting to think about about applying to colleges and was wondering what my chances are at nd.</p>

<p>I have a 6.0 gpa unweighted and a 6.866 gpa weighted on a 6.0 gpa scale
i am in all honors and ap classes.
my sat scores are not the best. 600R 650M and 670W i plan on retaking them in september and do a lot better. (i suck at standardized tests)
act score of 29
class rank is 2/969
SAT II: 770 math level IIc
700 us history</p>

<p>a lot of clubs, extracurriculars and leadership positions.</p>

<p>You want to raise that score.</p>

<p>And you want to write a beautiful essay.</p>

<p>You also want to contact Notre Dame and show interest.</p>

<p>I think if you can improve your test scores, and I bet you can, then you will have a good shot. As it stands now, it would be close and given how ND has been recently you may be on the outside looking in. Just study, study, study and you will get there. Good luck!</p>

<p>your rank is outstanding, but theyre right, you need to get your score up, and write a good essay -- my suggestion is use humor if you're good at it, thats what i did and my admissions rep loved it</p>

<p>I agree with you guys.... but look at that GPA and Rank!</p>

<p>Yes, your ACT score is below average....... but your GPA and Rank are basically perfect</p>

<p>IMHO If you write a brilliant essay that matches your intelligence shown in your GPA and rank then I believe you can get in.</p>

<p>i was also ranked 2 with a 33 ACT and i didn't get in until they took me off the waitlist lol... 770 SAT II on math II is amazing though, i think i got like a 720 or somethin...</p>

7

<p>Meh, my 800 was only 85th percentile methinks.</p>

8

<p>^ I honestly doubt an 800 is 85%</p>

9

<p>wait whaaaaaaat? i thought they were out of 800? lol how could an 800 be 85th percentile? lol</p>

10

<p>Yea, I believe the Math 2 800 is about 87th percentile, meaning 13% of people get 800. You can get like 7 wrong on Math 2 or something and still he an 800</p>

11

<p>Thats crazy</p>

12

<p>math sat2's are easy. i lived in houston when i applied to ND. houston sucks. you go to a big school. lamar, or strake...?</p>

13

<p>I got an 800 on the physics and it was only 92% yeh, I thought that was odd.</p>
