<p>I’ve heard Notre Dame really likes lots of community service
Might need more info to get good advice</p>

<p>These three schools are reaches…</p>

<p>Your GPA, class rank & ECs are stronger than your standardized test scores. Probably in at Notre Dame due to your qualifications & legacy status. Possible at WashUStL & Northwestern depends upon to which school you apply. I think that your best bet is the School of Communications (which includes theatre)–but your ACT is low for Northwestern & Washington University of St. Louis.</p>

<p>CONSIDER: USC</p>

<p>What is your intended major area of study ?</p>

<p>ND - Match b/c legacy

<p>Major please…</p>

<p>Major: Non-Science/Math.</p>

<p>OP: If your major is “anything but math or science” then you should also consider applying to some LACs.</p>

<p>Just a hunch: Consider Grinnell College in Iowa. Skidmore College in New York state. Assuming, of course, for both, that your lifestyle & politics lean liberal.</p>

<p>Wash U and Northwestern are high reaches, ND is a low match, most likely will get in.</p>
