<p>wow that was long...but i wanted to be thorough....thanks so much...i'd appreciate any comments or suggestions!</p>

<p>just an FYI, you can’t superscore ACTs</p>

<p>yeah, i know…ND doesn’t superscore ACT, but BC and WashU do.</p>

<p>anybody want to chance me? i’ll chance back!</p>

<p>anybody? i’ll chance you back!</p>

<p>i say youve got like a 75% or 80% of getting in.
i worked in ND’s admission office for over 3 years. that worst that can happen if you apply is getting rejected. the worst that can happen if you DONT apply and end up unhappy elsewhere is, WHAT IF.</p>

<p>apply, and good luck.</p>

<p>ps. play up the school community thing. bring it up on your essay. the essay is key.</p>
