<p>I know I'm not really in a position to say this, but I think your SAT score is somewhat 'on the border'. You have a solid GPA, but the fact that you go to 'the 12th rated high school according to Newsweek' doesn't matter. I hate to say it, but their 'ranking' is a fraud and not well respected anywhere. You took a ton of AP courses, which is always good. I say you have an excellent shot of making it into ND. In fact, I don't think they can't accept you.</p>
<p>I checked the ranking and it indicates you are from Florida? Well, if you havn't been to see ND, I would highly suggest that you do. Some people hate South Bend (myself included) but everyone I know loves the campus.</p>
<p>Oh and the fact that you are protestant won't matter, either...</p>
<p>Also, if you want to get me some tickets for one of the ND - USC games, ND - Michigan games, or ND - Purdue games, that would be greatly appreciated ;)</p>
<p>I'm from Dallas; maybe I got the rank wrong, but it was around 12. Still, South Bend would be Godawful cold.</p>
<p>I'm going to submit my ACT, and the mid 50% range is 31-33. Also I forgot to say I'm not a legacy</p>
<p>I visited & they said not to apply EA (they don't do ED) unless you are in the top 1-2% of your class, so does anyone think it would be risky to go EA as opposed to ED?</p>
<p>Well, ND's EA is nonbinding...soooooo, you've pretty much got nothing to lose if ND is your first choice. You won't get outright rejected, thats for sure. And if we both make it, I'll see you there.</p>
