Can I do it?

<p>Alright, how about this...I am unbelievably catholic-i've worked in parish office, involved in Life Teen, been a leader in Life Teen, been director of the altar servers, taught CCD, volunteer work etc.... My dad is a catholic deacon, my mom is a school administrator at christ the king catholic school. I'm from atlanta, and i know only about 12% of NDs students come from the southeast. I have a 1370 on my SAT, 730 math 640 verbal, a 3.94 gpa. I will graduate with 4 APs, and all other classes i have ever taken have been honors. I've worked all 4 years of high school, changing jobs only once. I work now (and have for the past year and a half) at Planet Smoothie as a manager... good leadership no? I put in about 20+ hours a week outside of school, having no time for any athletics. I'm in NHS, Jr. Civitan, have volunteered a lot, went to the Georgia Governor's Honors Program this summer for Spanish (1 of 650 students out of all of georgia), and can get excellent recs and write a good essay.
I am terrified of not getting into Notre Dame. I've wanted to go there for as long as I can remember.
My mom was admitted to St. Mary's but left after a semester...
We also have lots of friends that went there, alumni that have donated lots etc...</p>

<p>Senior year course load
AP Calc AB
AP Spanish Lang
AP Lit</p>

<p>I'm involved in my school's newspaper, with leadership roles as events coordinator etc...</p>

<p>I'm signed up for the SAT in october. I've taken it twice, and it jumped 50 points between first and second. </p>

<p>Early Action or Regular Action?
Can anyone please tell me either way what you think about my chances?</p>

<p>I responded to you on another thread but I think you have a decent shot, but you never know with admissions...as they say in Rudy "they are a funny bunch of squirrles." I definately think you will be competitive, however.</p>

<p>Also, I would apply Regular given your stats. </p>

<p>Feel free to get in touch with me via PM or email me if you can find my address in my profile (I think there is a link to it or something) if you have any questions! Good luck and I hope to talk to you soon!</p>
