<p>Thank you so much!</p>

2

<p>great chances at all</p>

3

<p>I think you have great chances at all as well. Obviously ND is typically the hardest to get into but the legacy thing should help a bunch.</p>

4

<p>very good resume i think that you will be accepted to all. some of them i havent heard of, but your grades/ec/scores are good.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, a few are small New England colleges that no one's ever heard of! </p>

<p>And UMass, but i have NO intention of going there! haha </p>

<p>Even accepted to Notre Dame? I still feel like it's a huge reach for me!</p>

6

<p>my dad went to St Michaels, I've heard good things about it.</p>

7

<p>Yes, I'd also say you're matches for all of them as long as you have decent recs/essays. Good luck.</p>

8

<p>Did you not take the SAT or SAT subject tests?</p>

9

<p>you're good to go. usually if you have a legacy status that dates back a century or so, you should be ok.</p>

10

<p>youre in here (ND) no problem with the legacy and those stats. BC actually is a reach, since you fit the profile of pretty much every BC applicant (white, catholic, from the northeast) its going to be tough. W&M is a reach also, and youre in at all the others.</p>

11

<p>I heard (or read) that legacy at Notre Dame counts only if your parents went there...brothers/sisters/aunts/uncles don't hold much weight...that being said you look solid to me, though you didn't say what courses you've taken or are currently taking. Good luck!</p>

12

<p>youre in ND probably, BC is a reach though. the rest should be fine.</p>

13

<p>you have a great chance at all of them! congrats!</p>

14

<p>Legacy is only good if its your parents, but since the OP said 5 generation I was assuming parents were included in that, and the other generations only make it stronger.</p>

15

<p>quite a possibility.</p>

16

<p>You should look right in your own back yard at Holy Cross which would provide you with academics equal to or greater than all the schools on your list. Having said that (I am biased as a grad and the father of a current junior), you do have some great choices on your list. My nephew graduated from St Michael's three years ago and was absolutely thrilled with the school-acaemics, social life, campus feel.</p>

17

<p>a match for most of those schools</p>

18

<p>By 5th generation, I mean my dad, my grandpa, my great grandpa, and my great-great grandpa went there.</p>

<p>haha it's intense. And so has my uncle, and a dozen cousins & second cousins and so many more.</p>

19

<p>i think u have a pretty good chance at all of them</p>

20

<p>Why would you apply to Saint Anselm's and not Holy Cross? Holy Cross is significantly better in many respects.</p>
