<p>Hi! I love Notre Dame, like it’s my absolute favorite place in the whole world. That sounds corny, but that so true. I’ve been there every summer since I was born and it’s just like home. I can’t imagine myself anywhere else. So, I would really like to just see if other people think I’m moving in the right direction and can offer any admissions advice. Thank you!</p>

<p>Other: My mom got her Masters Degree (theology) from Notre Dame, I’m not sure if that makes me a legacy.</p>
<p>I know that my ACT score is definitely my low point. I go to a very competitive public school that often sends several students to top schools (I don’t know if that makes a difference).</p>
<p>Like I said earlier, some idea of if I’m in the right direction and any other advice would be greatly appreciated. I know I have time to go, but I feel like I should know now, than before it’s too late. Thank you! :)</p>
