<p>I've already been accepted at UMich and Mich State Honors(in-state). My scores are a little low, but will good athletic standing (3 varsity) and GPA make up for it? I wrote a decent essay, and submitted about three weeks ago. Do I have a reasonable prospectus at ND? thanks</p>

<p>I think you will have a good shot if you can get your test scores up. Your rank looks good but I definitely think it is worth retaking the SAT and ACT, especially if you can get the science grade up which I bet you can. Your ACT would be great if you can boost it!</p>

<p>he already sent in his application..... I dont think he has time to do a retake</p>

<p>Nice athletics..... im a 3 sport athlete too........... huge time thing with homework and everything and i dont think the colleges realize that</p>

<p>umm...nice gpa thats awesome... rank is great too...</p>

<p>your sats and act is the only blemish</p>

<p>average act is 32 and sat is above 1430.........</p>

<p>But your athletics and class rank may make up for it.....</p>

<p>Idk.. i think it would be close..... </p>

<p>GOod luck on becoming a domer.......</p>
