<p>I think you have a great shot at ND, plus the legacy connection and I think you should be in for sure (1/4 of every class is a legacy)! You might want to retake the SAT to get your math up (I assume that was the lower of the two composites?) as the average last year was just above a 1400. They absolutely love varsity athletes - I actually wrote my essay about sports (75+% varsity athletes per class on average). I would write about service and passion in your essay as well - they are really emphasizing community service in their mission statement.</p>

<p>Oh, I just remembered one of my best friends was a legacy and only had a 1220 on his SAT.</p>

<p>I had a slightly better resume than you two years ago (in terms of scores but NOT ECs) and got into ND (honors), BC, UVA (Out of state), and Wash SL (didn't apply to your others). </p>

<p>Basically, I think you have a great shot! Just don't take their short application for granted (the essay was 400 words when I applied).</p>

<p>quadriple bumps? man you need a feedback. Wash U is a reach for you...their average ACT is about 30~1. BC, UVA, and vandy are also very competitive, so you need to get those scores up. Plus, UVA is very hard for oos'ers</p>
