<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in.</p>

<p>I think your chances are really good (especially since you are a legacy)</p>

<p>What do you guys think o my ECs? I think that is one of my weaknesses, and I also don’t really have any special awards, so will that affect my chances?</p>

<p>Also, do you think I should go early or regular?</p>

5

<p>That depends. If you’re thinking about applying to another college that has SCEA or ED, then you can’t apply EA to Notre Dame. If Notre Dame is your first choice and you want a decision by December, then apply EA.</p>

6

<p>Do you think I’m qualified enough for EA, or should I go Regular Decision?</p>

<p>some advice on ec’s - this summer and the fall of next year, really focus in on one activity and try to improve that activity for the better. All programs, not only ND like to see this, but ND does stress passion and the motto “what are you fighting for” so I would really suggest trying to set-up in one of your areas…if you are too spread out, it is much tougher to really improve an activity.</p>
