I think it’s pretty unlikely you will be accepted REA. You don’t really have any hooks and your class rank is around 5%. You have obviously challenged yourself with a rigorous academic schedule. If I were guessing, you probably get deferred. The ultimate decision will probably depend a lot on your essays.

Good stats. As long as you didn’t submit your AP scores, I think your test scores are solid. Idk about acceptance, but it may be helpful for you to know that I’ve talked to Notre Dame officers and they said that the additional letters (“peer”) don’t really matter. They will consider it but your teacher letter is the most important.
