<p>Great teacher recs</p>

<p>i think you’ve got a good shot. i’m in a similar position to you, but your grades are definitely better than mine. that class rank will really help, and i know they love varsity athletes. in all honesty, i’d say your only aspect that could hold you back would be your SAT (keeping in mind it is still an excellent score). the CR and W are great, but remember Notre Dame does not take into account your writing score, and base it solely on math and CR. Regardless, i like your chances. hopefully we’ll both get in. good luck!</p>

<p>Bummer they don’t take writing. I applied EA so I can only hope now!</p>
