<p>So I think I have a halfway decent shot... but I'm not too entirely sure. I'd like to hear what you guys think about my shot at Notre Dame EA! </p>
<p>Generic Stuff
Caucasian Male
Pittsburgh, PA
Large, Competitive, Nationally Ranked Public School
GPA: 3.87 UW, 4.17 W
Rank: Rank apparently isn't reported to colleges by my school, thank God. Top 15%, but hey. Let's keep that a secret, eh?
AP's: U.S. History (4) (Junior year), Music Theory (Junior year), AP European History (Senior year), AP Calculus AB (Senior year), AP Macroeconomics (Senior year), AP Microeconomics (Senior year) *AP's are only offered junior or senior year at my school

SAT II's: I'm taking them in November. US History and Math II
ACT: 32 composite (31, 32, 33, 30, no writing)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars
For extracurricular stuff, I'll put down verbatim what I have on the common app.</p>
<p>Music: Instrumental (9-12)
I have played guitar (learned other instruments too) for several years, have had several bands.</p>
<p>Career Oriented (11-12)
4th in state competition, President (Senior year)
I competed in DECA in the Financial Team Decision Making event. Competed at international level.</p>
<p>Other Club/Activity (11-12)
Treasurer (Senior year)
I was involved in the second year of Amnesty International and helped set up fundraisers.</p>
<p>Career Oriented (10-12)
1st in district competition, Vice-President (Senior Year)
I have participated in FBLA, going to state-level competition my sophomore year.</p>
<p>Academic (9-12)
I participated many times with my school district's gifted system, GOAL.
*Note: I am putting all the activities I participated in under the additional information space</p>
<p>Athletics: Club (9-12)
Starting Goalkeeper
I have played on a local traveling soccer team, fall and spring, for several years.</p>
<p>Community Service (Volunteer) (9-12) (~100 hours)
Worked with Saints John and Paul parish on several occasions: Food drives, rummage sales, etc.</p>
<p>Work (Paid) (11-12)
Kuhn's Quality Food
I have been a cashier at a local grocery store since December 2011. (15-25 hours a week.. REALLY varies)</p>
<p>Athletics: Club (9)
Starting Goalkeeper
I was a goalkeeper on <em>Insert high school's name</em>'s freshman soccer team.
*Note: After ninth grade, I decided that it would most likely negatively impact my grades if I were to continue doing school soccer, and I did not want to take that chance. Should I say anything about that in additional information?</p>
<p>Student Govt/Politics (9-10)
Class Representative
I was involved in Class Council, a secondary student government for 9th-10th graders.</p>
<p>Extra honors:
NJHS: 9-10
NHS: 12
My high school has split buildings, 9-10 and 11-12. Thus certain opportunities are existent at either school, such as the Class Council, DECA, and Amnesty International. Once again, should I probably list that this is the case?</p>
<p>Um... I really think that is it. I think my essays are pretty darn good, and I'm confident that my teacher recommendation is pretty good as well, but cannot say with absolute certainty.</p>
<p>So, yeah. Have at it! Chances for Notre Dame EA? :D</p>
