You sound like you are very advanced in taking those classes as a sophomore. Keep up the good work.
Get all of the help that you can in the classes that you struggle with; do extra credit, go to review sessions, write and re-write papers. Prepare well for the new SAT or the ACT (of note, the ACT seems to have more of a timing factor, which may impact you more with your learning issue).
Legacy status does help at Notre Dame, but technically only if your parents attended. Doesn’t hurt to have a family member win the Heisman. May help in your essays showing your connection/enthusiasm for the university.
