<p>Notre Dame is my favourite school. I want to major in economics then do an MBA, so it's perfect. I'm Irish (residing in Ireland) and Catholic. My uncle got his Masters here some time ago.
I am top of all my classes: English, Irish, Maths, Chemistry, Art and Art History, French and Accounting. I have lots of extra-curriculars and several awards, but not enough time to list them all, unfortunately. :p
I am expected to receive all A grades in my final exams (Leaving Certificate).
Are any of these things "hooks" or factors that might give me some kind of a shot at applying here? What else could make me stand out?</p>
<p>Oh, I'm taking my SAT in December.</p>
