<p>This is a really good application. I can’t really identify any weaknesses. You should have a fairly good shot.</p>

<p>Just curious, what were your SAT Subject Scores?</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I didn’t take the SAT. Probably not the wisest decision, but I didn’t do spectacularly (by Notre Dame standards) on the PSAT (about 1940/2400), so I figured the ACT was my best chance. I’m somewhat curious where they would be as well…</p>

<p>You look very competetive. In fact, it seems extremely what they look for:
Top Academics, Service Hours at Church, and Good Athletics</p>

<p>Thank you again. Still can’t consider myself a sure bet by any stretch of the imagination though. Any other opinions here?</p>

<p>WOAH MAN! THATS AMAZING! Im only a freshman so I’ve got years ahead of me but you really have a great shot, unless you have a crappy SAT! If your from the west, you might look into BYU though! Are you into football? JA</p>

<p>Thanks! I hope one day, you find yourself in a similar position! </p>

<p>I did not take the SAT, because there’s really no need to if you take the ACT and send that score in. I am from the Midwest which is why ND is my dream school, and another reason is, of course, the football games!</p>

<p>Any more opinions would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the bump.</p>

<p>Why are you stressing? All good. If they pass on you it’s pretty random.</p>

<p>You look nearly identical to my son, and he also did the EA. Only differences is that he is a NMSF and is at a private/Catholic high school. I like your chances - best of luck!</p>
