<p>Hey I'm a senior in high school and I applied RD to notre dame...it would great if anyone could give me feedback to help ease the pain of waiting until april for a decision but please be honest</p>
<p>SAT: 1440/2150 (M: 710, CR: 730, W: 710)
ACT: 30 (but i guess theyll just ignore it since my sat is higher)</p>
<p>Quick summary of high school grades (took nearly all honors and ap classes, 5 APs total):
Fr.-almost straight As
So.-straight Bs
Jr.- 1 A, 3 Bs in honors/AP classes: GPA 3.5(UW), 4.17(W)</p>
<p>Rank: barely top 10% out of about 220 (Through Junior year)
...but maybe theres hope...</p>
<p>Senior year report card

AP English</strong><strong><em>93(A) 93(A)

Honors Physics</em><em>90(B) 96(A)
Biomed _</em><strong><em>96(A) 95(A)

<p>My school doesnt calculate rank or official GPA until the end of the year but if they did, it would be 3.67(UW)/4.33(W) and 4.0/4.67 for each quarter respectively.
(I even wrote a note on my app about how ive had a "killer instinct" to achieve the pinnacle of academic success my senior year that hasnt exactly been there other years..)</p>
<p>ECs: Lettered varsity soccer (11), Environmental club(12), Pro-Life club(11), Intramural Basketball(9-12), NHS (11,12)</p>
<p>Leadership stuff: Lead a retreat for 1 week every summer(11, 12), represented my school through science fair competitions (9,10) (yes, i know its a stretch), invited to/attended a leadership workshop (10), nominated for National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine (11)</p>
<p>Community Service: Majority of hours come from leading the retreats (50-60hrs per year), volunteer at local farm/nature preserve (11) (about 28 total hrs), other misc. service (20+ total hours)</p>
<p>Employment: Essentially a janitor at local parish (summer of jr yr., 9hrs/wk)</p>
<p>Awards: Various minor awards for science fair, service, etc.</p>
<p>Essays: very good but kinda long (650 and 580 words)</p>
<p>Also Important: (if you are still reading by now you are a saint) i wrote my supp about how i want to save the environment and how i love nature and i want to major in something science related etc. etc. but i only got a 26 on ACT in science and a 3 on the AP Bio exam...will this hurt me? but i did put environmental engineering as my official top major which might be more math-oriented</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
