<p>You have a shot but you don’t seem like an outstanding applicant to me. Their OOS is very very competitive accepting maybe 1000 or so in the whole country. </p>

<p>Compare yourself to someone who got in at my school:</p>

<p>6 AP classes with A’s in all of them. ( 4’s and 5’s on the exams )
5 credits in Spanish (three of which were honors)
Ranked 1st in the class.
President of NHS at our school.
She never made a B in high school.
2140 SAT
300+ hours of community service.
State Champion in Softball, also played volleyball and basketball all the way through high school. And she is in state, making it easy for her to get it.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, she also has a 4.0 unweighted GPA and a 4.8 weighted.</p>
