ok,
sat/act - on par with ND (maybe a one point lower on the ACT - but that is just what I have heard, I don't know anything about it). the 208 looks good though on the PSAT
the GPA is good as well (if you could get into the 3.8s that by 1st semester that may do well).
for calc, i suggest going the AP Calc route...they want to see that you challenge yourself and that would help show it.
AP scores are great...especially if you intend to enter bio
your extra-curriculars are good (did you do tennis for 4 yrs?)....the hospital "internship" is a good thing as well...may lead to an essay, or another essay topic could be your mission trip which is important to ND (however, i think that many people who go on mission trips write about them, so if the hospital one has more to it, then maybe go with that; but if you have some sharp life changing memories from the mission trip, that might be more powerful.
there was a discussion about how much ND legacies matter and while we saw some odd cases, it can't hurt you, but don't rely on that alone to get you in.
You have a solid chance to get in as you are very qualified, but remember college admissions is a tricky business as 70% of ND's applicants are "qualified." I don't mean to scare anybody, but just want you to know that you are never a "lock" to get into anywhere. That being said, I think you have a really good shot. I would go RD as well.
If you have any questions, just reply back or PM me.
