<p>you have enough athletic activities so that is not an issue. Your grades are very good right now - anything over 3.8/3.85 is very good for ND. SATs will be critical - i would set the bar at 2000 but ideally you would be at/around 2100. </p>

<p>Continue to build activities - it was good to see you are joining some additional clubs and continue to develop a major passion – it is critical to have a good volume but also have one or two that you focus on</p>
