<p>You're fairly strong in most areas, but you need to up your SAT/ACT a tad bit. If you can do that, you have a solid shot.</p>

<p>great shot, good luck!</p>

<p>try to get a 2200+. without that, i can't confidently say you have a "great shot." several of my friends were waitlisted with similar grades to yours and scores in the high 2100's. work hard, and don't underestimate the importance of the SAT.</p>

<p>everything else looks great though.</p>

5

<p>In my opinion, if you get a 33+ ACT or 2200+ SAT you are basically guaranteed in. If you keep that SAT, I'd still say you have a good shot.</p>

6

<p>Very, very good shot. A higher SAT or ACT would help ensure you a spot, but I think even without that, you are definitely most likely in.</p>

7

<p>Thanks for your help everyone!</p>

<p>I was afraid you guys were going to say that about my SAT lol! </p>

<p>I plan on taking the ACT first and seeing how that goes before I take my SAT again, so does anyone know what I should be shooting for?</p>

<p>Well about a 32 is "competitive" but not that impressive for ND. I'd say shoot for a 33, 34 would be better, but don't like kill yourself if you get a 32 it'd probably be fine. Good luck!</p>
