<p>ok, with all of that, im asking for a little help. my ultimate goal is to get into notre dame. out of high school, transfer, i dont know but right now does anyone have any advice to help me sway the admissions office with my application in senior year? i know im not the 4.0 1600 student, but i take hard classes, im going to have an upward trend (screwed up freshman year), and i want to do a lot of good for my applications junior year. however, i dont know much about what these admissions boards want, especially at notre dame (quoting rudy, "theyre a funny bunch of squirrels").</p>
<p>can anyone help?</p>
