<p>Hey Everyone! I'm a rising junior and I was looking for advice regarding how to get into the University of Notre Dame. I go to a pretty competitive public high school in Massachusetts. We have 4 levels of classes: college prep, accelerated, honors, and AP (increasing in difficulty respectively). My class size is about 270, but we don't find out class rank until next year. I haven't taken the SATs yet, so I know it's hard to chance me, but any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!</p>

<p>Once again, I know it's hard to tell without SAT scores. I did take the PSATs last fall and scored in the 89th percentile. I may visit ND next spring; would an interview increase my chances? Thank you!</p>
