I applied EA to Umich, but I’m considering other schools in case I get deferred or denied. I’ve been researching and I’m wondering if I should give Notre Dame a shot

I want a really honest opinion!! My tests scores definitely hurt, and possibly my rank, GPA. I’m also OOS (MI resident) and not a legacy, URM, or first-gen.
I’m extremely active in my Vietnamese-Catholic youth group (we do dances, performances, training, camp, puzzles, worship, and conventions regularly. I’ve lead a skit, and also have awards and leadership roles), so I’m thinking that could help a ton especially with my other ecs.
I’m also considering Ohio State, and I’ve been accepted to my safety (Michigan St)
