<p>Here's how it is... I'm from the Chicago area and I have loved Notre Dame ever since I was young. As my academic career continued and I read about it and visited my love intensified for the school. It is without a doubt my #1 choice, I wanted to apply EA but I was unsure whether my SATs would improve enough. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>First test- 1400 (780m 620v)
Second test- 1470 (780m 690v)</p>
<p>I rank 10/221 at my school and should graduate somewhere around #8 (I was a national merit commended scholar). I am very involved and am senior class vice president. My passion is with missions work and I will express that in my essay.</p>
<p>My recs should be good, I hope atleast. What are your opinions at my chances RD?</p>
