If anyone has any input at all, I would be greatly appreciative! Very few people who have attended my high school apply to selective colleges like Notre Dame, so my counselors have no idea how to answer any of my questions and I’m really on my own through this process. Any sort of feedback would be great!

Your biggest weakness will be your test scores. They are significantly below average for ND. Your schedule and GPA are good, and you seem to have solid extracurriculars. Write great essays and hope that the rest of your application overcomes your scores.

Since you are a junior, you have plenty of time to pull those scores up. I´d retake one or both.
