<p>plus im catholic</p>

<p>I'd lean toward deferral, only bc uw GPA and ACT (though very strong) are probably a little low for the early pool. I think they said the avg ACT EA is a 34. GL though, an avg. is only an avg, and if I were an adcom I'd want you at my school.</p>

<p>unweighted looks somewhat low, but rank is where it needs to be</p>

<p>ummm... eh, Im going to go out on a limb and say that you will be admitted.</p>

<p>I see the whole Kairos thing...Do you happen to go to a jesuit high school?</p>

5

<p>nope, public high school but im super involved in my church and it's youth group- and i think my unweighted is low bc of my sophmore year B's (where they where honors classes but since it was unweighted they were 3's not 4's in my GPA) but apparently ND only looks at academic GPA which is 4.556</p>
