<p>I’d say you were competitive.
ED would help.
Make sure you have an interview.
Good luck.</p>

<p>P.S. Out of curiosity, I did a quick check of “best high school” rankings and none of the lists I saw had any school in SC in the top ten.</p>

<p>I’m sure your school is fine, but clearly “consistently ranked in the top 10” is a bit of an overstatement.</p>

<p>It could be rated for a certain program, since it is a magnet school.</p>
