Hello Everyone will you chance me for Notre Dame? I have been on the Notre Dame campus and talked with my rep. He did say to apply EA, but now I’m worried reading CC.

Major Choice: Psychology/ Thinking PreMed Track
GPA unweighted 4.0
Weighted: 4.154 s/b 4.5 after the first semester. All A"s in all my classes currently
Class Rank 1/120

Not sure about weighted because I have taken 4 AP classes so far. Senior course load is five additional AP: AP Lit and Comp, AP Chemistry, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, and AP Calculus ( My school only lets you take 1 AP class sophomore year, and I had to advocate Junior year to take additional classes because they’re not many are offered at my school)

Already completed my common app essay. I think it is very good.
