<p>Obviously it is really going to come down to how your audition goes. Your grades and Gpa are fantastic. Your act really needs to be brought up though. I am sure you know that the average act is around a 28 29 so you have work to do there. But play well and you should have a good chance.</p>

<p>75% chance atm. Even with those scores. You can get admitted into the school, but not the program. So keep practicing.</p>
