<p>Recommendations are good, I have a few coming from a Biology teacher, a Physics teacher and an English teacher</p>

<p>Theres a few other ECs that I didn't list on here, but those were the most important ones I thought.</p>

<p>Chance for these schools please:</p>

<p>Notre Dame (Early Action)
Duke
Yale
Brown
Vanderbilt
Harvard
Princeton
Dartmouth
Stanford
UCLA
Northwestern</p>

<p>My major weaknesses are probably my race and test scores. Hopefully they are still solid though! I am hoping that my study abroad experience, first-generation college student..ness, essays and class rank will get me into my dream school. (Notre Dame) But it would be interesting to find out about some other schools as well. I'll be taking the SAT subject tests in January so hopefully I'll get 700+ on those (I plan to study like crazy)</p>

<p>Leave a link for me to chance you!</p>

<p>Might look at Holy Cross-very good school located 1 hour from Boston. HC is similar to Notre Dame but easier to get into. Holy Cross has good alumni network and is good with financial aid.</p>
