<p>I would say pretty good, but imagine what your GPA could be with a little weight on it. Oh well, there’s nothing you can really do about it. Your EC’s are…well they stand out from the usual crowd, I guess. By that I mean the whole starting a business thing. It’s funny, I’m trying to get into Notre Dame too and my friends and I just started a business building computers. I’m a sophomore though, so I have some waiting time.</p>
