<p>Letters of Recommendation:
From teachers-probably perfect
From my principal-ABSOLUTELY outstanding. She had two kids go to ND and she spoke specifically abut how perfect a fit I would be
I'm also having a letter written by an alum/member of ND staff who said he "walk it [and my appl] through admissions" </p>

<p>Essay and application:
My common app essay is "outstanding" according to every person who has read it, including my principal, several teachers and an editor (who actually thought it was the best common app essay she'd ever read)
My application essays are also quite good (I'm sorry if I sound like an awful bighead) and I think they really show how I would be a good fit at ND</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Please, and thank you! <3</p>

<p>Seems like you have a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>Thank you, Aendos! I can’t wait until I find out!</p>

<p>If your letter from alum has as much weight as you say, you’re an obvious in with good test scores and great EC’s. good luck, and chance back please! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-notre-dame/1412320-chance-me-ea.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-notre-dame/1412320-chance-me-ea.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Everything looks great except for your subject tests, but I don’t think those will keep you out. Good luck! =)</p>

<p>Nick248: I certainly hope the letter has clout-I really think it does! Thank you and of course I’ll chance you!</p>

<p>Natalilc: Yeah, those subject tests come at the same time as IB exams-pretty rough haha. Thank you, everyone I have spoken to from ND has told me that Subject Tests only serve to strengthen an application not weaken, so hopefully it works out!</p>
