<p>I have really bad SAT's(im an idiot at testing): 1810; CR-680, M-520, W-610. I have a 3.8 gpa, with 3 honors/AP classes: french, english, and biology. I got a 5 on AP US history. I have a bad rank 36 of 188, b/c we have a lot of kids who take dumb class and get like 4.0, and we have a really tough top 15 kids that take all on honors/ ap b/c our science and math honors are linked, so i can't take honors science. I go to a sort of competitive Catholic Highschool, that feed about 4-5 kids to Notre Dame, b/c we were founded by the Holy Cross brother and a lot of our faculty are ND alums.
