<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>Looks very good with all the ECs and reasonably good ACT and SAT.</p>

<p>The number of APs is off the charts. Do some research, you are not going to credit since many courses overlap. I would take less AP courses in your senior year and dedicate your limited time to improving either your ACT or SAT scores.</p>

<p>Ya my school’s AP’s seem easy</p>

<p>So what score should I be looking for SAT / ACT wise?</p>

<p>How many APs are you taking this year? That seems like a lot of APs to take in one year. Other than that you scores look good and you have a lot of extra-curricular. We had similar stats (i had 2190, swam for 4 years on varsity, but i only had 5 APs, but i was around 4/5% as well) and I was accepted - you are definitely a competitive applicant</p>

<p>I took one freshman year, two sophomore year. I have 6 this year, and I’ll have 8 senior year.
We can take 8 classes each year. It’s hybrid schedule. </p>

<p>4/5% what?</p>

<p>Question: How much emphasis does Notre Dame put on an applicant being Catholic or not? I’m wondering if that will help me. I’m in RCIA right now, so I won’t be confirmed until next Easter. But I go to mass every week and all, so I’m putting Catholic on my app.</p>

<p>I had similar stats and got in. I am also not Catholic and did not write that I was on my app. I think you have very good chance, but that is only my opinion. Good luck!</p>

<p>you will probably get in, although ND looks at math and reading more than writing, so i cant say unless you give the breakdown of ur score</p>

<p>i have a 1460 / 1600 and i got in</p>
