<p>I go to Orange County High School of the Arts, which is a charter school with an arts conservatory. I think it's pretty well-known as an arts school (at least in california), but I dont know if that affects my chances for anything.
I also submitted a music supplement that im pretty confident about to a few schools ( just for reference ) </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
