What did you get on your AP exams, and what kind of school do you go to?
Your SAT scores are on the low side of average, and since you said that you got the highest SAT score in your class and you are #1 in your class, that makes me think that you don’t go to a very competitive school, so your high GPA might not help offset your SAT scores.

While it won’t count against you that your peers didn’t score well, your scores aren’t high enough for early action. ND has an EA SAT minimum of 1440 this year, and since that is your score, you will almost definitely be deferred to regular decision, and, like NDgradNDdad said, whether or not you get in is too hard to tell. It could go either way. If you really want a chance, the only thing you can do is make sure that your essays are absolutely killer.
