Here is the class profile for ND. I would try to raise your ACT as your score is in the 25Th percentile. With things as is, I agree that ND is a reach but worth applying. Focus on making any ND specific essay as strong as possible. https://admissions.nd.edu/apply/admission-statistics/

It is great to have a couple of reach schools as long as you have a balanced application list that also includes match and safety schools that appear affordable (run net price calculators). If you like the idea of a Catholic college you may also want to look at some of the excellent Jesuit colleges. You can use this list and find ones that are good academic/geographic fits. Some of these schools have strong basketball programs if you like college sports. http://www.ajcunet.edu/institutions/ If you are willing to travel east maybe look into Villanova and Providence as well.

You have accomplished a lot in HS and no doubt you will find a great college to attend.
