<p>How would going to a specialized high school, such as this one, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_of_Allied_Health_%26_Science%5B/url%5D">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_of_Allied_Health_%26_Science</a>, affect one's chances in getting into a top notch university, such as ND?</p>
<p>Well, it certainly helps that the school is unlike most other schools in the nation. That reflects well on your application because it implies that the student has a relatively unique background. On top of that, the school seems really top notch, which is a bonus because it means that students will be well prepared. I can't really see this one hurting anybody's chances.</p>
