<p>Apply for early action. Your high board scores make you a natural candidate for that. Only possible negative I see is absence of athletic team activity -- which is on a huge percentage of admitted resumes at ND. Don't take it for granted, but you have a good likelihood for early good news.</p>
<p>Even if ND is not one of your top chices EA makes sense. Get in early to any of your choices, and you can totoally forget about fallbacks. No need to apply to a lower rung school for insurance. Unless you are consideraing ND your fallback - and I would not be THAT confident about ND.</p>
<p>Looking at the message at the message, I believe ND is not one of the OP's top schools hence it is a fallback. The OP is doing something very respectable, and something I wish other people would do, and that is apply first to their top choices and then apply to their fallbacks if it doesn't work out. It will save them money and also help others get into ND. I like their decision give that they said ND is not one of their top choices.</p>
<p>It happens. My old roommate came to ND as a backup school for Princeton and by the time he graduated he knew that he was much happier here than he would have been at Princeton.</p>
