<p>Listed Activities:
-5 years of early morning bible study held every school day, one year in Spanish

<p>Essay: should be good
Recs: should be great</p>

<p>Explanation:
So I know I'm not great, but I wonder if this will make a difference. I went to a prestigious private school in South America from 8-10th grade, then a 5a public school for the last two month of 10th grade. I moved to a different country in South America for 11th grade, and now I'm back at a charter school in the states. So I don't have a toon of leadership, but I think I have a good amount for moving almost every year, and same with consistency in ecs and such. I don't have a lot of APs because I've only had a few offered, if any. And I haven't done a lot of programs or jobs in the summer because I was moving or visiting family.
My question is, with all that, and with a 2200 SAT or 33 ACT, could I get in? Please, any input is welcome. </p>

<p>Thanks for reading.</p>

<p>You have an EXTREMELY high chance of admission to Notre Dame; if you bump up your SAT that much, you’re honestly a shoo-in :)</p>

<p>Having gone through this process at ND last year, I wouldn’t call anyone, no matter the grades/scores/ECs/hooks, a shoo-in. That having been said, I would retake your tests, work very hard on your essays, particularly the ones on the ND supplement, and, if you are able to get that 2200+/33+, apply EA. I think you look like a strong candidate, but take nothing for granted. Good luck!</p>

<p>Notre Dame: Reach</p>

<p>Thank you for all the replies! I really do want honest answers. With that, Catria is there anything I could do to be more of a match?</p>

<p>Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>I feel that your grades appear top notch… But the rigor in of itself seems a little iffy. Notre Dame is holistic, so I’d imagine they’d weigh that into consideration. SAT is a little low for ND. ECs appear good, but nothing spectacular… Any prizes or competitions you’ve won, maybe? </p>

<p>I say reach/high-match.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. Do you think it will make a difference for the course load if i’'ve almost never (except for two months) had the option for honors/only had one year where more than two APs were available?</p>
