<p>I wanted them to see my grade trend from second semester :smiley: More than anything, I think my grade trend speaks for my high school experience; I started off not doing so well, and that’s why i’m only top 8% in my class, but if you take GPA from only the soph-junior years, i’d be like… top 3-4%. :&lt;/p>

<p>anyway, thanks for the response!</p>

<p>The GPA is fine, good course load, SAT Math is great, SAT reading is low but not awful. The only thing that might hurt you is your service work. ND likes to see either large service projects or tasks that you have kept up on over the course of a couple years. With that being said though, I still think you will be okay.</p>
