<p>My Grandfather gives thousands of dollars to both Notre Dame and Harvard. Also, my father works in ACE (A Christian Based education program for Notre Dame). My Grandfather graduated from Harvard, as did my Uncle. 2 other Uncles and a cousin also graduated from Notre Dame. Just to stress the fact, my family has GREAT connections at Harvard and Notre Dame. I also think that it will help my chances at Notre Dame because I am a strong Christian.</p>
<p>Your thought of each school's chances? Thanks!</p>
