<p>I'm getting really anxious about my chances for Notre Dame. I'm a little hopeful, but I don't want to be disappointed when I get my decision letter in the upcoming weeks.</p>

<p>Can anyone give me feedback about my chances? I applied EA.
My Common App essay was amazing, and 2 of my Notre Dame short answers. My friend said my 3rd one was just average. :/</p>

<p>I am Indian, Maryland Resident.
I don't think many people from my high school ever apply to Notre Dame in the past if that matters?</p>

<p>Your only weakness is your SAT score, which is just average–maybe on the lower side of average. ND has an EA SAT minimum of 1440 (usually automatically reject all EA applicants with below that), but since you’re above that, you should be fine.</p>

<p>Your ECs, course load, and GPA are really impressive though. Definitely impressive enough to offset your SAT scores. I would say you have a very high chance of being accepted EA, since you only have one real weakness. You have probably at least a 60-70% chance of being accepted. Without your SATs though, you’d be almost a definite in.</p>

<p>ooh thanks for the response. I wish i could do better on the SAT, but I really can’t because the writing section is just horrible for me.</p>
