<p>I'm trying to decide between listing varsity swim as an activity on my commonapp (even though this is my first year) or varsity speech team, which I have done for the past three years. I'm leaning towards including speech team just because I've been doing it longer than swim.</p>
<p>While I'm at it, if you guys could chance me for RD, I would really appreciate it!</p>

Additional info: no legacies from ND, but my family has had the same season tickets in our family for 50 years, fairly decent donors; I also attended ND Vision this past summer if that helps (?). ND is so much more than a dream school to me honestly. It sounds clich</p>
