Hello all,
I am looking for someone to chance me as well as give me some advice.

Farm

I have been a huge fan of ND my whole life so my interest is definitely there.
Should have good supplemental essays and my common essay is about lessons learned growing up on the farm which should show my uniqueness since many people who attend Notre Dame don’t come from farms. Also, my sister attends the university and is doing very well but I don’t know if that helps.

So, I’m seeking advice on how to convey my interest? It’s my top school and I’m definitely interested but I’m having a hard time showing it. Also, would it be good to take the ACT again? Do they take into account how many times you have taken it?

Thanks ahead of time. I am quite desperate and just need as much advice as possible.
