<p>bump, any response would truly be appreciated.</p>

<p>I agree with you on your chances, except i would think you could get into u michigan easily. so pack your bags! urine!</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. Specifically what do you think my chances are of getting into Notre Dame. Do they weigh essays heavily? I spent alot of time on my essay, and I feel it is nearly perfect. (i won't post it for obvious reasons)</p>

<p>Seeing how the forums went to hell in a hand basket, I'll bump this one final time, and if I get no response i will condemn this thread to the ignominy of the masses.</p>

<p>last chance?</p>

<p>nd is a reach good luck</p>

<p>why is it such a reach? I've checked the states and I am above average in every aspect of their admissions process (and it is like this for every school) but why is it so much harder to get in than what they publish?.</p>
