<p>Irishgold - I think you have a really good shot. Of course, I haven't seen your essay or your teacher recs, but ND does love a legacy, and you have really good credentials.</p>

<p>Good luck, and let us know when you hear something!</p>

<p>No shot, none at all</p>

<p>You probably have a fairly good shot. You have credentials that are on par with a lot of the students who I know up here. At the same point and time, admissions for someplace like here are fickle, so you need to recognize that fact. Plus, everything I've heard indicates that be it one or two parents who were domers really doesn't effect your status as far as legacy. While it does show your families ties to the school, which is important, nothing is ever definitive. Is it likely you'll make it it in? Perhaps. Good luck nonetheless.</p>
